Taylor Wessing, under the lead of Munich based partner Dr Philip Cavaillès, has advised the founders and management team of TERRAS Group on the acquisition of a majority stake in the company by H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative investment firm. Signing took place on 2 July 2026, and closing of the transaction remains subject to clearance from the relevant antitrust authorities. The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms of the transaction. The transaction also marks the successful exit of AUCTUS, which has backed TERRAS Group’s significant growth since its investment.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Montabaur, Germany, TERRAS Group is a leading provider of infrastructure engineering and construction services across Germany. The company offers integrated solutions spanning regional civil engineering, specialised foundation engineering, rail construction and engineering services, serving customers in the mobility, energy, digital infrastructure, water and urban development sectors.

Through its partnership with H.I.G. Capital, TERRAS is well positioned to accelerate its next phase of growth. The company's co-founders, Dr. Dirk Sojka and Ralf Sojka, as well as the management team will remain invested in the business, reaffirming their long-term commitment to the company. Together with H.I.G., TERRAS intends to strengthen its market presence in Germany, further increase regional cluster density and selectively expand into new geographies.
