How we’ve helped:
Our work with Rebellion illustrates how we like to collaborate with others to ensure our clients get rounded advice. We were introduced to Rebellion in 2005 by Sarassin LLP, a legal and business affairs consultancy for video games businesses. Since then we have worked with Sarassin to help Rebellion complete a number of acquisitions and investments, including:
- the purchases of two games developers (Core Design and Strangelite), transactions which made Rebellion the largest independent European development studio
- acquiring the Solaris book publishing imprint from Games Workshop
- the acquisition of Radiant Worlds, a transaction which saw Rebellion grow to over 300 employees
