Osborne Clarke advises Bladonmore on sale to Headland

International legal practice Osborne Clarke has advised on the sale of international digital, brand and content business Bladonmore Ltd to Headland, the reputation and communications consultancy, backed by LDC.

Bladonmore advises listed businesses, multinationals and private capital firms across the US, UK, Europe and the Middle East on their engagement of stakeholders across digital, content, coaching, campaigns and wider advisory services.

This acquisition allows Headland to broaden its offering across a range of markets, helping clients navigate the constantly evolving media and digital landscape.

The Osborne Clarke team was led by corporate partner Jonathan Crowley, supported by Rav Sagar (associate director) and Courtney Fowler (associate), alongside colleagues from tax (partner Mathew Oliver and senior associate Ben Doeh), incentives (partner Anika Chandra and senior associate Natalie Paddock) and employment (senior associate Siobhan Murphy).

"For more than a decade,  I have been fortunate to have been advised by Tim Birt whose ability to blend encouraging words with pragmatic direction was always gratefully absorbed. When our process started, we were only ever going to use Osborne Clarke. It was a delight to work with Jonathan Crowley,  Rav Sagar and Courtney Fowler. Starting a business is easier than selling one. Osborne Clarke are good people doing complex work."
