Mourant advised Global Healthcare Opportunities on its planned business combination with CBC Group, a transaction the firm said would create the world’s largest dedicated health care investment manager.
The combined business would manage more than $21 billion in assets and have more than 200 investment and operating professionals across 13 offices in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Mourant acted as Cayman Islands counsel on the deal. Alex Last, global head of Mourant’s investment funds team, led the transaction with partner Rhiannon Williams, senior associates Rejonte Rivers and Richard Shugrue, associates Jalen Nordmark and Jaswindha Singh, and paralegal Charmaine Yu. Partner Sara Galletly provided regulatory advice.
The firms said the combined investment manager would focus on health care and life sciences assets, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, health care infrastructure and health care technology.
The transaction is expected to close in early 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. GHO and CBC will operate independently until the deal is completed, Mourant said.
“We are delighted to have played a part in helping our long-standing client GHO complete a transaction with such strategic importance and scale,” Last said.
