Offshore legal and governance services firm, Mourant has announced that it intends to buy Luxembourg based legal and governance services business, Lexfield.
The acquisition will enable Mourant to provide clients with legal, corporate and entity management services from Luxembourg.
LexField is a "boutique corporate and tax practice, specialising in private equity, investment funds, M&A and private wealth".
The acquisition, which Mourant says is driven by client demand for legal and governance services, is aligned with the firm's existing multi-disciplinary growth strategy. It follows the acquisition of a specialist accounting business in January this year and the launch of Mourant Consulting Services in 2021.
Mourant Global Managing Partner, Jonathan Rigby (pictured), commented: "We've spent several years getting to know the leadership team at LexField and FideField. There's a close strategic and cultural alignment between our businesses and we're delighted to be joining forces in Luxembourg.
"The LexField and FideField teams have a reputation for delivering the highest levels of service in law, corporate services and entity management. We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues and clients."
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is scheduled to complete in Q1 next year.
