Travers Smith has advised HSBC Bank plc (“HSBC”) on Hawksford International’s acquisition of Singapore-based Janus Corporate Solutions. Hawksford, backed by UK mid-market private equity house Dunedin, is an award winning, successful and leading independent wealth structuring company specialising in preserving and enhancing wealth.

The Travers Team was led by Banking partner Matthew Ayre supported by senior associate Matthew Smith.  Commenting on the transaction, Banking partner Matthew Ayre said “We are extremely pleased to have advised on this transaction.  The deal was an important one for Dunedin and Hawksford and to complete it in a tight timeframe, particularly in light of the complexities surrounding the financing of Jersey and Singaporean regulated entities, was a great achievement for all concerned.”

Dunedin and Hawksford were advised by Hogan Lovells led by London Banking partner Matthew Cottis.
