Taylor Wessing advises JMH Lifestyle Ltd on acquisition of luxury tailoring business

18-Feb-2008  |  Corporate, Tax

Taylor Wessing LLP has advised JMH Lifestyle Limited on the acquisition of KFS Group Limited and its subsidiaries for an undisclosed sum.

KFS operates the Kilgour men's tailoring business in Savile Row London, which predominantly specialises in bespoke suits and luxury garments.

JMH Lifestyle, based in London, has been specifically set up to acquire and develop brands in the luxury sector. Its targets will be businesses that operate in a wide-ranging sphere of activities, yet have a shared strategic paradigm, thereby creating synergies and access between brands and their consumers.

Lead partner Mark Davis comments:

"This is JMH Lifestyle's third significant acquisition and we were all delighted to have completed the deal in a particularly short space of time. We are excited by the prospect of working closely with JMH Lifestyle in the future, as it continues to invest in and develop luxury consumer goods brands."

The Taylor Wessing team advising JMH Lifestyle was led by Head of Private Equity, Mark Davis, supported by Partners Ann Casey and Nikol Davies, and Associates Russell Van Praagh, Carlos Gil Rivas and Max Remington-Hobbs.

The Sellers were advised by James Beshoff of Beshoffs Solicitors.
