Inflexion Makes Strategic Investment in aosphere

Inflexion NT

M&A Engagement Overview

Industry Group: Technology
Areas of Focus: Legal Technology; Compliance Solutions  

Harris Williams advised Inflexion on their strategic investment in aosphere, an affiliate of Allen & Overy. Aosphere became a stand-alone entity with Allen & Overy retaining a significant minority stake in the business.   

We are delighted to have advised Inflexion once again, and this engagement underscores our continued focus and momentum in the legal technology and compliance sectors. We look forward to watching aosphere’s continued success as they embark on their next chapter.

London-based aosphere creates efficiencies for their clients, including banks, asset managers, and corporates, by providing online legal analysis across a range of key compliance topics in complex areas such as financial derivatives, shareholder disclosure requirements, cross-border marketing, and data privacy. Aosphere maintains up-to-date, high-quality information by working with local counsel across the globe. 

The partnership will see aosphere create a scaled, global regulatory data business across a range of cross-jurisdictional topics.

With Inflexion’s support, the company will continue to invest to strengthen and expand their product, while maintaining the high level of service and information quality aosphere is widely known for. In particular, aosphere is looking to grow the business in the U.S. and where appropriate through acquisition.
