PLMJ was the legal adviser to Oxy Capital which, through Fundo Mezzanine, provided financial support to Nonius, in a management-buy-out (MBO) operation that involved raising EUR 11 million in financing and the substitution of the capital invested by Caixa Capital, Beta Capital, PME Investimentos and Impresa.
Duarte Schmidt Lino, the partner who heads PLMJ's private equity team, led a group made up of PLMJ associates Alexander Ehlert and Tomás Almeida Ribeiro. A year ago, PLMJ decided to create an independent specialist team to handle private equity (venture capital) and M&A work. This decision was made in line with PLMJ's policy of specialisation and to respond to the growing volume of work involving M&As and complex privatisations. Over recent years, PLMJ's private equity team has advised on a number of major deals including those of Oxy Capital, HIG Capital, FCC, and the acquisition of the EFACEC Power Solution by Grupo Isabel dos Santos.
