Acted as legal advisor to Translate.One in connection with its acquisition of Vertaalbureau Perfect and Fairlingo.
Translate.One announced that the acquisition of Vertaalbureau Perfect and Fairlingo strengthens its position in the Benelux and Germany and further expands its technology capabilities through Fairlingo’s cloud-based language platform. The transaction forms part of Translate.One’s broader European growth strategy.
The work covered the Dutch M&A aspects of the transaction, including the transaction structure, the asset purchase agreement, other transaction documentation, negotiations, signing and completion, and further implementation of the acquisition.
The transaction had a clear international component, involving Dutch, German and employment law aspects. The Dutch M&A workstream was coordinated by Dirk de Waard, with specialist counsel involved for specific employment law and German M&A matters.
