Full Credential Description
Vanda, a B2B research and data provider specializing in tactical macro and strategic investment analysis for institutional investors, faced the challenge of transitioning ownership while maintaining its growth trajectory. The company sought a strategic partner that could enhance its data and research offerings and support selective acquisitions. K&L Gates, through its Singapore office, provided tailored legal advice to Vanda's shareholders during the sale to FPE Capital, a software investor focused on second-stage growth companies. The law firm’s multi-office deal team, led by partner Edward Bennett, facilitated the transaction, ensuring a smooth transition of ownership for Vanda's fast-growing, multi-regional business. As a result of this strategic partnership, Vanda is positioned to evolve its offerings and pursue further growth opportunities, supported by FPE Capital's investment. This transition not only secures Vanda's future expansion plans but also aligns with the firm's goal of enhancing its market presence in the competitive landscape of research and data .
