Other members of the team included tax partner Brenda Coleman, with associates Chris Agnoli and Melanie Shone (London) and finance partner Alex Zeltser (New York) and finance associate Daniel Coyne (Boston).
The deal, which was announced on 21 April for an undisclosed sum, follows the acquisition by TPG Capital of Beaver-Visitec International in July 2016. Ropes & Gray also advised on this deal.
