London (June 16, 2021) – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, today announced that it represented Synova on its majority investment in Orbis Protect.

Orbis Protect is a leading provider of critical security services to the UK vacant property sector. In addition to focusing on organic growth, Orbis Protect will also be targeting a number of strategic acquisitions across a highly fragmented UK and European market. As part of the transaction, incumbent investor NorthEdge will remain a significant minority shareholder in the new group.

The Proskauer team included partner Andrew Wingfield, special counsel Tony Downes, associates Darpit Mehta and Karim El Borhami and paralegal Jake Fuller.

Proskauer also recently advised Synova on its sale of its majority stake in Fairstone.
