Leading global law firm Baker McKenzie has advised Capita plc (“Capita”) on two competitive sale processes relating to Capita’s sale of its resourcing businesses. The first transaction is a proposed sale by Capita of the Capita Resourcing, HR Solutions and ThirtyThree businesses to Inspirit Capital, and the second transaction is a sale of the Security Watchdog business to Matrix which is owned by Bridgepoint Development Capital, part of Bridgepoint Group plc.
