Addleshaw Goddard has advised Martin Hall and Naomi Rive, founders of Highvern, on a major strategic investment by Telemos Capital and a merger with Permian, a prominent fund services provider based in Norway.
Originally exchanged in January and now completed, the deal unites two high-growth, founder-led firms to form a new global platform for fund and private capital services. The merged group will offer expanded capabilities in fund administration, private capital, and fiduciary services from key financial hubs including Jersey, Norway, Ireland, the UK, and the US.
Mark Hallam Partner in Mergers and Acquisitions at Addleshaw Goddard said:
“We’re proud to have supported the founders of Highvern on this significant milestone. The investment by Telemos Capital and the merger with Permian marks a transformational step in the evolution of the business, creating a powerful new platform in fund and private capital services. It’s been a pleasure working alongside such an ambitious and visionary team.”
Addleshaw Goddard’s advisory team was led by Mark Hallam, with support from David Parker, Edward Ainscoe, Nicholas Clarke and Guan Xian Loh.
The transaction marks another significant milestone in Addleshaw Goddard’s track record of advising on high-value and strategically important transactions in the trust, fund and corporate services space.
