Baker McKenzie advised the Swedish company Safe Life AB ("Safe Life"), a leading provider of life-saving solutions in Europe and North America, on the acquisition of the Swiss company resQshock GmbH ("resQshock"), enabling Safe Life to enter the Swiss market. With the acquisition of resQshock, who specializes in automated external defibrillators (AEDs), Safe Life has expanded its reach and strengthened its position in Europe. The deal aligns with the company's European growth strategy, as with rising demand for AEDs, Safe Life will continue to seek strategic expansion opportunities. resQshock will keep its brand, but will benefit from Safe Life's resources, broader product range and international distribution.

Baker McKenzie advised Safe Life on all the legal aspects of this transaction.
