Hengeler Mueller advises Waterland on strategic partnership with Chemservice

Waterland, an independent European private equity firm, has entered into a strategic partnership with Chemservice, a leading regulatory compliance expert for the chemical industry with an international footprint.

Together, Chemservice and Waterland will focus on further accelerating the company’s strong growth trajectory by pursuing an ambitious expansion plan both organically - leveraging strong market growth and increasing regulatory requirements across the globe - and through targeted M&A activity in a fragmented market environment.

Hengeler Mueller advised Waterland comprehensively on the transaction and coordinated the work with local counsel in Luxembourg, Switzerland and South Korea.
