A cross-border team of Appleby lawyers acted as lead counsel to Suntera Global in its acquisition of Carey Commercial Limited, a boutique Fund, Corporate and Private Wealth services provider.
Carey’s fund administration division provides a broad offering and adds Guernsey as a new tier one fund jurisdiction for the firm.
The Appleby team advised on legal due diligence, transaction documentation and regulatory aspects of the transaction.
It was led by Corporate Partner Andrew Weaver and included Partners Stuart Tyler and Richard Field, Group Partner Richard Sheldon and Associates Angharad Prescott, Raphael Chitambira and Stephen Le Cornu.
The transaction still needs regulatory approvals.
Alex Noel, Chief Financial Officer at Suntera Global, said: “I have been impressed throughout this transaction with the expertise, diligence and practical support provided by the Appleby team. Their advice was tailored, pragmatic and commercial in a challenging set of negotiations, underpinned by experience and creative flexibility alongside legal excellence.”

"Our lead counsel role, performed by a team across Guernsey and Jersey, showcases the strength and depth of Appleby’s cross-border M&A team and our ability to deal with complexity to achieve client-driven solutions.”
