We’re pleased to have advised independent private equity investor TPA Capital on its investment into pan-European built environment consultancy Lysander.
Surrey-headquartered Lysander provides project management, cost management, building surveying and related advisory services to enterprise clients delivering complex construction projects. The firm serves clients primarily in the industrial, logistics and data centre markets.
The investment will support Lysander's management team in accelerating growth across its disciplines, geographies and end markets, while the founders continue to lead and grow the business.
The deal represents the latest investment for London-based TPA, which focuses primarily on partnering with the management teams of small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK – making commitments of up to £30 million.
Our Corporate team, led by Partner James Down, Legal Director Hannah Summers and Associate Rachel Faulconbridge, acted as lead legal advisers to TPA on the investment.
It’s our pleasure to have supported TPA Capital on this strategic partnership with Lysander. The transaction reflects the strength of Lysander’s platform and the alignment between the two organisations as they look to accelerate growth across key European markets. We look forward to seeing the business continue to go from strength to strength with TPA’s support.James Down
