Our sector experience

Baker McKenzie advised Coats Group plc ("Coats"), a world leading industrial thread and footwear components manufacturer listed on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market and a member of the FTSE 250, on its acquisition of OrthoLite Holdings LLC ("OrthoLite") for an enterprise value of USD 770 million. We acted as international M&A counsel, as well as advising on the debt and equity financing in connection with the transaction. OrthoLite is the global market leader in open-cell foam insoles. It operates in an attractive, fast-growing segment of the footwear market with strong tailwinds for growth as brands increasingly adopt open-cell technology due to its superior benefits in terms of comfort, performance and sustainability.
