Oberberg Group has acquired the owner-managed Panorama Fachkliniken in Scheidegg im Allgäu. As a result of the acquisition, the Berlin-based company's nationwide network will in future be made up of thirteen facilities, making it the leading quality association of private clinics in the field of psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosomatics in the German-speaking countries.
The international law firm Taylor Wessing provided comprehensive legal advice on the transaction to Oberberg Group with a team led by Frankfurt based Partner Michael Stein. Taylor Wessing had already advised the private equity firm Trilantic Europe in 2017 when it acquired Oberberg Group. The mandate underlines once more the successful profile-raising of the M&A practice in Healthcare M&A as the result of a long-term strategy.
Ilmarin Schietzel, CFO/COO of Oberberg Group: “The transaction placed very high demands on structuring at the interface of corporate law, regulation and financing. Taylor Wessing's team-oriented and integrated approach to advice, especially in very time-critical situations, has helped us to successfully master the structural challenges.”
