Joelson, the leading London law firm, has successfully advised the shareholders of Pet Microchip Services Ltd on its sale to Identi. The transaction marks a significant milestone for both Pet Microchip Services and the acquiring party. Pet Microchip Services has established itself as a trusted name in the pet care industry, providing microchipping solutions that ensure the safety and identification of pets.
This deal reflects the culmination of Joelson’s long-standing relationship with Pet Microchip Services, having worked with Lisa Hunter and the management team since its creation. In that time, Joelson has provided comprehensive legal support for the company’s growth strategy, including 7 strategic acquisitions in the UK and the US which helped the group expand and consolidate its position within the pet care sector.
The Joelson team was led by Partner, Phil Hails-Smith with key assistance from Associates, Emma Vantine and Rajiv Samani and Solicitor, Georgia Edmonson. Joelson worked closely with corporate finance advisors LAVA, whose expertise in financial strategy and deal structuring was instrumental in facilitating the successful sale.
Lisa Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of PMS, commented:
“A big thank you to Phil, Emma, Rajiv, Georgia, and the rest of the team at Joelson. They did an excellent job (as always), and we were very pleased with their work. We would use Joelson again and highly recommend them. It’s been a pleasure working with you all.”
Phil Hails-Smith, Partner at Joelson added:
“We are delighted to have advised Pet Microchip Services on this transaction. This illustrates Joelson’s pre-eminent position in advising and supporting founders from an early stage of their development through to transactions of this nature. It has also been a pleasure working with Lisa Hunter, CEO of Pet Microchip Services Ltd, whose vision and leadership have been instrumental in driving the company’s growth and success. This transaction is a testament to the strong foundation Lisa has built, and we are thrilled to have been part of their journey.”
