The re-acquisition of the assets was consummated pursuant to a consent request that was accepted by the CMA on June 5, 2025.
The Freshfields team comprised partner Simon Priddis, senior associate Bola Ajayi and associate Toyosi Taiwo on antitrust matters, partner Giles Pratt, counsel Tom Dye and associate Vanessa Jiang on IP matters and partner Tomas Rua and associate Athanasios Tasopoulos on corporate matters.
