A&K advises Wingate School shareholders on sale
Aziz & Kaye has advised the shareholders of Wingate School, owner of The Wingate School, a prestigious public school located in Mexico, on the sale of the entire shareholding in the two legal entities that own the school to Inspired Education, a UK-based investment fund focused on the education sector.
This cross-border deal included the sale of the related real estate and represents a significant development in the premium education sector in Mexico. It also reinforces Inspired Education’s strategic expansion in the Americas.
The transaction, signed on 15 August and completed on 24 September, was complex due to the acquisition of the real estate, which was owned by a third party not involved with the sellers. Baker McKenzie advised the buyer.
A&K’s team was led by partner Allan Kaye Trueba (pictured), with support from senior associate Pedro Gabriel Reynoso Ramín and junior associate María Fernanda Lores Vera.
Baker McKenzie’s team included partner Lorenzo Ruiz de Velasco, senior associate Pamela Lemus, and junior associate Fernando Gándara.
