Independent UK law firm Burges Salmon has advised UK-based learning technology company Think Learning on its acquisition by Totara Learning Group, a global leader in learning management technologies.
With Totara forecasting strong continued growth in the next few years, the acquisition is part of the company’s ambition to boost its healthcare market reach outside of North America and enhance customer-driven innovation in learning solutions.
Think Learning, which was already a long-standing partner of Totara, will now benefit from the group’s global resources and expertise to further its public sector and healthcare specialisms and diversify its client portfolio.
The Burges Salmon team advising Think Learning and its shareholders was led by partner Dominic Davis, director Tim Roberts and associate Dan Wood from the firm’s Corporate and M&A team. Director Silvana Van der Velde also provided advice on tax-related matters.
Burges Salmon worked closely alongside Investec’s Corporate Finance team including Scott Williams, William Godfrey and Mary Martin in advising Think Learning.
Dominic Davis comments: “It’s been fantastic to work alongside Investec in advising Tim and the Think Learning team on this transaction. We really enjoyed working with Tim and the Think Learning shareholders and will look forward to seeing the business thrive further under Totara’s ownership.”
Tim Newham, Director at Think Learning, adds: “The Burges Salmon team was superb at helping us to navigate the whole process and were very pragmatic and commercial throughout. We felt really well looked after and brilliantly advised at every step.”
