Deal
CS Regulatory, a leading provider of regulatory compliance solutions for manufacturers and importers across the UK and Ireland, has been acquired by Munich-headquartered CERTANIA. The transaction marks a significant milestone in CERTANIA’s expansion within the industrial and regulatory services sector.

The acquisition complements CERTANIA’s existing capabilities and enhances its service offering to industrial clients across Europe and beyond.

The deal also involved Dains Corporate Finance, with Roy Farmer and Constance Host providing corporate finance advice, supported by tax specialists Adam Longmore and Jagdeep Sahota. CERTANIA was advised by Eight Advisory on financial matters and by Ashurst on legal issues.
Martyn Brierley said:
“We are delighted to have supported CS Regulatory’s directors through this important transaction. Having acted for the business for a number of years, we are particularly pleased to see such a strong outcome for the team and to have helped secure a strategic international partner in CERTANIA.”
