Pinsent Masons advises Ufenau Capital Partners on its investment in Express Solicitors

Ufenau is a privately-owned Swiss investor group which advises private and institutional investors on their investments in private equity. Express Solicitors is a UK-based Top 100 law firm specialising in claimant representation for personal injury cases.

The transaction is Ufenau’s first platform investment in the UK. Ufenau will work closely with the Express Solicitors management team to execute their targeted Buy-&-Build strategy. The aim is to continue to capitalise on the significant consolidation opportunity in the highly fragmented personal injury legal services market.

Pinsent Masons deployed a cross-disciplinary team to advise on the transaction, led by corporate partner Joshua Willis and finance partner Mhairi Morrison. 

Joshua commented, “We’re delighted to have advised Ufenau Capital Partners on this transaction which marks one of the most significant private equity investments in the UK’s legal sector to date.”
