Esch­born — Rödl & Part­ner has provi­ded compre­hen­sive finan­cial advice to Product­Life Group (PLG), a French and global provi­der of consul­ting services to the life scien­ces indus­try, on the acqui­si­tion of Commer­cial Eyes Pty Ltd, an Austra­lian company focu­sed on the commer­cia­liza­tion of phar­maceu­ti­cals and medi­cal devices.

This part­ner­ship opens up nume­rous synergy effects for both compa­nies and their custo­mers. For PLG, this means not only expan­ding its geogra­phic presence and exten­ding its offe­ring to global markets, but also better support­ing custo­mers in their over­all market and pati­ent access stra­tegy. Joining PLG repres­ents a signi­fi­cant stra­te­gic step for Commer­cial Eyes for all stake­hol­ders and offers the oppor­tu­nity to utilize the plat­form built up over the last 22 years to successfully drive global expansion.

Part­ner Jochen Reis was respon­si­ble for over­all project manage­ment. The finan­cial due dili­gence was led by Asso­ciate Part­ner Felix Markow­sky; Asso­ciate Svenja Schramm comple­men­ted the Rödl & Part­ner advi­sory team.
