Osborne Clarke Advised Halma plc on Strategic Acquisition to Enhance Safety Technology portfolio
International legal practice Osborne Clarke has advised Halma plc on its £230m acquisition of UK-based E2S, a strategic addition that broadens Halma's portfolio of life-saving technologies within its Safety Sector.
The acquisition of E2S, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance notification and detection devices, supports Halma's strategy of investing in growing markets that protect human life. E2S's critical safety solutions for hazardous industrial environments – including oil and gas, renewable energy and power – will operate as a standalone company under its existing management, extending Halma's reach in stringent global safety markets.
"Supporting Halma on this strategically important acquisition strengthens its capability to address critical safety needs across global industrial markets. E2S’s technology and robust product portfolio are an excellent fit for Halma’s purpose-led growth model. This transaction marks our first engagement with Halma and highlights the role that we can play in their ongoing strategic development." Matthew Edwards, Partner, Osborne Clarke.
The Osborne Clarke team who advised Halma consisted of Matthew Edwards (Partner), Laurence Nelson (Senior Associate ) and Benjamin Smith (Associates) and Tim Rouse (Associates) from the Corporate team. Jonny Squires (Associate Director) advised on tax and Richard Wilkinson (Partner) on real estate.
The transaction involved multi-jurisdictional elements, with the core team supported on corporate advised by Dr Philipp Reeb (Partner) and Charlotte Raszawitz (Senior Associate) in Germany and Catherine Olive (Partner) and Julie Dahan (Senior Associate) in France. The firm worked alongside Nixon Peaboby LLP who have a long-standing relationship with Halma, led by Daniel Belostock (Partner).
