Fox Williams, in close partnership with US firm, Arnall Golden Gregory (AGG), advised Co-Lab Global, Inc (and its wholly-owned subsidiaries known as Boldscience) on its acquisition by Minds + Assembly.
Boldscience, a global medical communications agency, helps pharmaceutical clients convey complex science to broader audiences. This acquisition will see Boldscience’s deep connections and expertise enhance Minds + Assembly’s market presence in the pharmaceutical, BioTech, medical device, and digital health industries.
Mark Lydiatt, former majority owner of Co-Lab Global and now CEO of the Minds + Assembly platform, commented: “Minds + Assembly and Boldscience have far exceeded the growth of our peers by delivering work that is exceptional, while fostering an innovative spirit and maintaining an unwavering commitment to a truly unique people-focused culture. [We] could not have been more pleased with the professionalism and quality of service from the teams at both AGG and Fox Williams, and both firms were instrumental in helping our company and our shareholders achieve a positive outcome.”
The Fox Williams team was led by corporate partner, Richie Clark, supported by senior associate Alex Canning, and trainee Anouska Royle. Head of tax and incentives, Emma Bailey, advised on the UK corporate tax aspects of the deal alongside senior associate Kaleem Khan, and employment partner, David Williams, advised on UK employment aspects.
AGG’s team included corporate & finance partners Sean P. Fogarty and Michael C. Thaler; and tax partner Zach D. Wilson, along with corporate & finance associates Lucy B. Chauvin, Eunice C. Lim, and Emilie L. Pfister.
Richie Clark, head of corporate at Fox Williams, added: “We are thrilled to have partnered with AGG to advise Boldscience on its acquisition by Minds + Assembly. It is particularly rewarding to see innovative businesses like Boldscience thrive in taking the next step in their evolution. It was a pleasure working with the AGG team on another successful cross-border project, which further demonstrates our commitment to being a truly internationally-focused firm.”
