Charles Russell Speechlys advises Lauralu's management on its sale to Eurazeo

Charles Russell Speechlys is pleased to announce that its Paris team has advised the managers of the Lauralu group in France, the United Kingdom and Finland, in connection with EVOLEM's sale of its stake to Eurazeo.

Lauralu is a French group specialising in the design, manufacture and marketing of demountable metal-and-fabric buildings. Available for rent or purchase, these turnkey structures are delivered within very short timeframes and can be adapted to any sector of activity, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution to support businesses in their development. Building on this unique positioning, the Group has established itself as a leading player in the French temporary structures market.

The Charles Russell Speechlys Paris team, led by Stéphane de Lassus and Guillaume Ferrand, partners in the Private Equity and Tax team, assisted by associates Guylain Lucas and Xavier Himbert, advised the Group's founder Olivier Hohn and around fifteen managers in connection with their reinvestment in the acquisition holding company majority-owned by Eurazeo.

This transaction marks a decisive step in the development of the Lauralu Group, which will now benefit from the support of Eurazeo's teams to accelerate its international growth and strengthen its positioning in the metal structures manufacturing market.

Stéphane de Lassus comments:

We are delighted to have advised the managers of the Lauralu Group on this transformative transaction. This reinvestment alongside Eurazeo reflects the management team's confidence in the Group's development project and the appeal of this model to leading institutional investors.

Guillaume Ferrand adds:

This transaction illustrates our ability to advise executives and key employees and to structure management packages in the context of an international LBO.
