Eversheds Sutherland advised Gresham House on acquisition of SUSI Partners AG
The multinational global law firm, Eversheds Sutherland, advised longstanding client Gresham House, a specialist sustainable investment manager, on its agreement to acquire SUSI Partners AG, a Switzerland-headquartered investment manager focused on energy transition infrastructure.
The acquisition creates a top-ten European energy transition platform, combining Gresham House’s UK market leadership in battery energy storage with SUSI Partners equity and credit expertise in global energy transition infrastructure. With £2.7 billion (€3.1 billion) in assets under management, the newly combined Energy Transition division will be one of Europe’s largest energy transition managers. The transaction also expands Gresham House’s geographic reach into continental Europe and Asia, supporting its ambition to become a leading global alternative asset management firm.
Mike Birkett commented, “We are delighted to have advised Gresham House again on this strategically important transaction. The combination with SUSI Partners underlines our client’s ambition in the energy transition sector and also our own expertise in handling pan-European transactions in financial services.”
James Trevis added, “This transaction marks the latest in a series of strategic acquisitions on which we have advised Gresham House, reflecting both the pace of the firm’s growth and its ambition in the energy transition space. We are proud to continue supporting the team as they build a leading global alternative asset management business.”
