Osborne Clarke advises the Jellyfish Group on Social Life acquisition

International legal practice Osborne Clarke has advised the Jellyfish Group on its acquisition of the award-winning creative agency, Social Life, as part of its continuing expansion. It also marks Jellyfish's first acquisition since receiving investment from French group Fimalac, a transaction Osborne Clarke also advised on.

Co-founded in 2014 by former BBC Radio 1 producers, Laura-May Coope and Alistair Parrington, Social Life specialises in delivering best-in-class creative social content for some of the world’s biggest entertainment brands. The agency has a 50 strong team working across its offices in London, Los Angeles and Amsterdam. The team will continue to be led by Coope and Parrington.

This is the latest in a series of market-leading transactions in the marcomms sector that the team has advised on in 2019, and is the latest of a number of transactions on which the team has worked with Jellyfish.

Associate Director Ken Wilkinson and Associate Katie Tait advised Jellyfish.

The team advises at every stage of company development across all corporate issues, from equity and debt fundraisings to M&A, IPOs and JVs.
