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.
