The Law Debenture, a British-based investment trust dedicated to a diversified range of investments, completed the acquisition of global multinational law practice Eversheds Sutherland International's company secretarial unit of Konexo, an alternative legal and compliance services provider. The acquisition of CSS is an exciting and value-creating opportunity for Law Debenture and is consistent with our clearly stated strategy. While IPS has a proven record of organic growth over recent years, we have remained alert to opportunities to accelerate our growth. We are proud to welcome the CSS team to Law Debenture. It is encouraging to see such a long client tenure, often more than 10 years, and we look forward to working with the team at Eversheds Sutherland to ensure a smooth transition of the business. The combination will bring together highly qualified and talented colleagues, allowing us to widen our existing expertise and capabilities to better service our clients. This is an important step in the continued execution of IPS' strategy that is both strategically and financially compelling with attractive longer-term revenue synergy opportunities," Denis Jackson, Law Debenture CEO.
