Partner and Global Practice Leader of the Mourant Investment Funds team, Ben Robins, led the transaction for Mourant, working alongside Jersey Investment Fund team members Roisin Cullinane, Sarah Burns and Daniel Hayden. The team worked in close collaboration with lead counsel Kirkland & Ellis and fund administrator Aztec on the fund-raising.
Ben Robins commented:
“Many congratulations to Highland Europe on the completion of Fund V. The energy, drive and collaborative approach of the Highland Europe team and their portfolio companies continues to breed real success, and it’s been a real pleasure to support them with another substantial fund-raise.”
