Inflexion acquires Chambers and Partners

Financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed, though Inflexion is currently investing from its £650m fourth buyout fund, which provides equity tickets in the £15-75m range.

Under its new ownership model, Chambers will look to undertake an international expansion strategy, with a particular focus on the Asian and US markets. It will also invest in its digital platforms and product development.

As part of the deal, the company has appointed Steve Halbert, currently chair of Inflexion portfolio company Alcumus and formerly head of UK M&A at KPMG, as chairperson.

Inflexion declined to comment on the deal valuation or EBITDA generated by Chambers. At the time of publication, the GP was yet to confirm details of debt related to the transaction.
