Charles Russell Speechlys advised Alpac Capital, a Portuguese investment fund, on the acquisition of a majority stake in Euronews SA, a French headquartered pan-European media group.

We understand that this acquisition will transform the development of Euronews, to make it a leading pan-European media group in the coming years".
