This transaction, which is among several recent completions advised by Northern Edge, highlights our expertise in a range of areas.
At the start of the transaction, our team carefully monitored the Company’s performance in the early stages of the pandemic, providing thoughtful guidance on the opportune time to go to market, and how to prepare for the process. The Northern Edge team was also able to maintain a competitive environment throughout the negotiations with Unique, allowing them to negotiate a transaction structure that satisfied our clients’ financial objectives.
