Our role in the transaction
Oaklins’ team in Ireland acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to the shareholders of Mitchell McDermott to find the company’s first institutional investor to support a significant growth opportunity across Europe and enable equity participation for the next tier of senior management. The team provided end-to-end support throughout the transaction, identifying and engaging multiple private equity firms and managing a competitive process to select the optimal partner. This transaction aligns with several others that the team has advised on or is currently mandated for within the mission-critical infrastructure sector, particularly involving Irish companies supporting the rollout and construction of data centers across Europe.
