Wallace advises the founders of RCS Global Group on the sale to SLR Group
The Wallace team recently advised the founder shareholders of RCS Global. RCS is a global leader in data-driven ESG performance, responsible sourcing and responsible mining assurance.
RCS counts many multi nationals amongst its client base, especially in the automotive and electronic sectors, advising on responsible production and procurement across the clients’ raw material supply chains internationally.
SLR Group is a sustainability consultancy with around 2,000 employees worldwide in more than 20 countries.
Wallace has advised the RCS Global Group for a number of years in relation to its various legal needs, including its commercial relationships, human resources, technology, GDPR and corporate matters. Wallace’s accumulated knowledge of the business, its technology assets and its working relationship with management assisted in concluding a successful transaction process.
The RCS team will lead SLR’s growth into a global audit leader.
John Woodhouse, who led the Wallace team, commented:
“It was extremely pleasing to assist such a valued and longstanding client as RCS Global to conclude a fairly complex transaction. We particularly enjoyed the challenge of project managing certain components of the transaction process in territories as diverse as China, New Zealand, South Africa, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. We are delighted for Nick and Harrison who will no doubt take the business to the next level as part of the SLR Group.”
“Thank you for your excellent work and monumental effort put in. It’s been wonderful working with you.”
“Many thanks to the Wallace team for the late nights and clear guidance to get the deal done.”
John Woodhouse led the Wallace team which consisted of Andy Cooke, Sabrina Mitchell, Ines Krausler, Alice Curtis and Jess Daly.
