Permira Holdings-backed company agrees to invest in Axiom Global

New York-headquartered alternative legal services provider Axiom Global Inc. will receive a significant investment from a company backed by funds of private equity firm Permira Holdings Ltd.

The deal — the completion of which depends on customary conditions — is expected to close in the fourth quarter. Its financial terms were not disclosed.

Axiom Global's management team will remain in their roles as the firm seeks growth opportunities in the U.S. and globally.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Barclays offered financial advice to the Permira Holdings' funds with respect to the transaction, and Barclays provided committed financing.

Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP offered legal advice to the Permira Holdings' funds. Goldman Sachs & Co. was financial adviser to Axiom Global, and Cooley LLP offered it legal advice. Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP was lender counsel to Barclays.

Axiom combines its platform of over 2,000 lawyers with services that enable clients to add a flexible layer of on-demand talent to their core teams.

Guernsey-based Permira Holdings seeks to invest in medium and large companies in the consumer, financial services, healthcare, industrial tech and services and technology sectors.
