Montreux Healthcare Fund has Acquired Active Assistance

City of London law firm Druces has advised the Montreux Healthcare Fund PLC on its acquisition of Active Assistance, the leading provider of care and support for individuals with complex neurological conditions.

Active Assistance provides specialist care to individuals with acquired brain injury and spinal cord injury in domiciliary and residential settings. It also owns the UK’s largest Case Management Group, serving clients with an acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions, throughout the care pathway.

The acquisition constitutes the second major transaction to complete within the last month for the fund, following the sale of The Regard Group earlier in the month. Active Assistance will offer a new platform from which to consolidate the highly fragmented specialist care sector through its next investment cycle.

The Druces team was led by Christopher Axford, Partner in the firm’s Corporate & Commercial team, and included Antony Cotton (Senior Associate; Corporate), Caroline Cropley (Senior Associate; Corporate), Rebecca Pinder (Solicitor; Corporate), Claire Rigby (Associate; Corporate), Toby Stroh (Partner; Corporate), Sophie Vann (Associate; Banking & Finance), Nicholas Brent (Partner; Property), Sarah Dahabiyeh (Associate; Property), Rebecca Facey (Associate; Property), Emma Foster (Senior Associate; Property), Lauren Sandland (Associate; Property), Paul White (Partner; Tax).

Duff & Phelps acted on behalf of Montreux Capital Management providing financial advisory and valuation services in connection with the acquisition of Active Assistance.
