Good morning, Nina Lindholm here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom. We kick things off with a merger, with news that Main Capital Partners is combining Cisbox with an electronic payment services business. We then take a look at one of the last “untapped frontiers” for large scale private capital transformation: the UK legal sector. Houlihan Lokey managing director Oliver Vaughan tells us about the opportunities in the segment. To finish, we take a look at a couple of senior partner appointments by Antin Infrastructure Partners. Better together Main Capital Partners is merging two of its portfolio companies, Cisbox and Windata. Main Capital will continue to hold a majority stake in the business combination.
