Sidley represented Clara Vista Investment Partners, a U.S.-based investment firm and majority shareholder of Ipswich Town Football Club, in connection with its acquisition of an 80% stake in Frosinone Calcio, an Italian professional football club recently promoted to Serie A. Clara Vista acquired the stake from Maurizio Stirpe, Frosinone Calcio’s longtime president. The transaction is expected to provide additional liquidity to support Frosinone Calcio’s investment in its infrastructure and squad.
The Sidley team was led by Daniel Belke and Dustin Page (M&A and Private Equity) and Jonathan Westreich (Tax).
