Global elite law firm Hogan Lovells advised OutSystems, a global leader in high-performance application development, in its acquisition of Ionic, one of the most widely used platforms for building mobile and desktop applications using web technology.
Together, OutSystems and Ionic will help IT leaders transform the way they build, deliver, and continuously update business-critical applications with a focus on quality, performance, security, and scale.
Ionic is the maker of many popular open source projects, including Ionic Framework, a mobile UI toolkit; Capacitor, a tool for natively deploying web applications; and Stencil, a toolchain for building web component-based design systems.
The OutSystems high-performance low-code platform gives technology leaders and developers the tools to rapidly build and deploy their own business-critical applications. The company’s network spans more than 600,000 community members, 400+ partners, and active customers in 87 countries across 22 industries.
The Hogan Lovells team representing OutSystems was led by Boston M&A partner Alex Aber, and included partner Adrienne Ellman (New York), counsel Aafke Pronk, and associates Lexi Bender (Boston) and Cedric Duquene (New York).
