Dunedin picks up Blackrock PM

The investment will be used to support the company's growth, which will focus on international expansion with plans to grow in the Middle East and Asia, according to Dunedin partner Giles Derry. The company may also grow acquisitively, and already has an eye on potential bolt-on deals. Furthermore, Dunedin will also support the company's plans to expand its services.

According to Derry, the deal was sourced off-market. Dunedin has been targeting the legal services and specialised professional services space and engaged with the company towards the end of last year.
