Cripps’ corporate team has advised Green Power Conferences on its sale to S&P Global Commodities UK, a division of S&P Global, and the leading independent provider of information, data, analysis, benchmark prices and workflow solutions for the commodities, energy, metals and energy transition markets.

Cripps’ team, led by legal director Kate Sun and comprising Andreea Rusu, Lawrence Moran, Hannah Morris, and Charlotte Spendley, advised on all aspects of the corporate law surrounding the sale. Holly Milne-Peasey from Cripps’ employment law team also provided specialist advice throughout the transaction.

Kate Sun, commented: “This deal involved navigating complex structures for multiple shareholders, further compounded by logistical challenges with advisors spread across three different time zones in New York, Singapore, and the UK. We are thrilled to have got this over the line and achieve the desired outcome.”

Nadim Chaudhry, CEO at Green Power Conferences added: “The Cripps team, led by Kate Sun ably assisted by Andreea Rusu, gave excellent professional service and kept the deal moving forward even when the negotiations were hard.
