The acquisition was implemented by way of a members’ scheme of arrangement under Jersey company law. The scheme of arrangement was sanctioned by the Royal Court of Jersey on 27 May 2021 and was effective from 1 June 2021.

The Appleby team was led by Appleby partner Andrew Weaver and counsel Kevin McQuillan. Dispute resolution partner Jared Dann, senior associates Gemma Whale and Daniel Healy and trainee Angharad Prescott also assisted.

Speaking on the transaction Andrew Weaver commented: “We are very pleased to have worked with the ADVANZ PHARMA team in getting this matter to completion and I am proud of the consistent excellence of the Appleby team throughout. We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship as legal advisers to the growing business as it takes its next steps under new ownership.”

Robert Sully, General Counsel of ADVANZ PHARMA, commented: “The Appleby team have acted as an extension of our own team and have made themselves available around the clock to guide us through the sale. They have been a pleasure to work with on this landmark transaction.”
