In a team led by Freehills partner Andrew Pike and senior associate, Daniel Krutik, Freehills utilised their long-standing relationship with RMB Capital Partners to provide the coordinated MBOs of various companies in the office fit-out and workstations industry in Queensland, New South Wales, ACT and Victoria.

According to Krutik, the transaction was unique in that it was not just another acquisition of a single head company with a number of subsidiaries. “The deal involved rolling multiple unrelated entities and businesses, with a significant number of disparate shareholders, into one group as part of a single transaction,” he said.
