Global law firm Clifford Chance has advised ICG, the global alternative asset manager, on its agreement to acquire the Westerleigh Group (“Westerleigh” or “the Company”), a leading independent developer and operator of crematoria and cemeteries in the UK.
ICG’s European Infrastructure team will acquire Westerleigh from Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and Universities Superannuation Scheme which have jointly owned the business since 2016, supporting a period of significant growth for the Company.
The Clifford Chance team advising ICG was led by infrastructure private equity partner Thomas Fisher, with support from senior associates Jessica Berkeley, Joshua Higgins and Megan Hodges, and associate Damilola Akinrele. Partner Alexandra Dimsdale Gill advised on financing.
The wider team included tax partner Nicola Hemsley and associates Archie Zverev and Alfie Futureman; finance senior associate Elphina Franklin and associate Boma George; environmental partner Nigel Howorth and senior associate Antonia Sandford; incentives partner Sonia Gilbert and senior associate Jennifer Danso; and financial regulation partner Simon Crown and senior associate Yolanda-Alma Ghita-Blujdescu.
