Clifford Chance Advises Jupiter Fund Management on Strategic Acquisition of CCLA Investment Management

Global law firm Clifford Chance is advising long-standing client, Jupiter Fund Management plc, the London listed asset management group, on its acquisition of CCLA Investment Management Limited. CCLA is the UK's largest asset manager focused on serving non-profit organisations, managing more than £15 billion in assets under management on behalf of charities, religious institutions and local authorities. Completion of the transaction is subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and the transaction is expected to complete before the end of the calendar year.

The cross-practice Clifford Chance team was led by London corporate partner Erik O'Connor with support from client relationship partner David Pudge, alongside senior associates Chelsea Bruk-Jackson and Mitchell Paul and associates Lauren de Bruyn and Kiran Pillai and trainee solicitor Emilios Hadjiandreou.

The core M&A team was supported by colleagues from a wide range of other practice areas including financial regulation, tax, incentives, employment, IP, pensions and real estate.

Clifford Chance has a close and long-standing relationship with Jupiter and previously advised the group on the acquisition of the Merian fund management business.
