This strategic acquisition by SLR both enhances SLR’s capabilities and further accelerates SB+CO’s rapid growth as they provide globally relevant expertise to businesses.

What we enjoyed most about this deal

Supporting on the sale was particularly rewarding as we were advising two shareholders who consistently put their employees at the heart of every decision. This is a commitment that shaped the entire process and made the outcome even more meaningful.

It was also a pleasure collaborating with the teams at both Waypoint and Wilsons, whose professionalism and partnership helped make the transaction smooth and successful.
