June 8, 2017 (London) – International law firm Proskauer represented Investcorp on its NOK 1.8 billion acquisition (US$210 million) of ABAX Group. The transaction is Investcorp’s fourth investment in the telematics sector globally and the fourth in Scandinavia in the past 18 months.

Investcorp is a world-leading manager of alternative investments for select individuals and institutions with more than $21.4 billion of assets under management.
