International law firm Addleshaw Goddard has advised leading healthcare and veterinary equipment supplier IMS Euro Ltd on its partnership with private equity firm Elysian Capital.

The Stockport-based company, which specialises in supplying non-pharmaceutical products across an international network, made the move to support its growth strategy in both UK and EU markets. 

Elysian Capital is a UK-based fund, founded in 2007, which invests in mid-sized UK & Ireland headquartered companies.

The AG team advising on the transaction was led by Head of Private Equity Paul Medlicott and included Eleanor Chatterton, Emma Johnston, Melissa Chaplow and Luca Batra, along with the firm's Paris office.

Sam Collard, CEO at IMS Euro, said: "The advice and professionalism we have received from Addleshaw Goddard has been invaluable throughout and made such an important transaction an enjoyable process. Paul and his whole team provided first class guidance which was critical to the success of this partnership with Elysian."
