ADVANT Altana advised Société du Théâtre on the acquisition of Ecole des Roches, a well-known international boarding school founded in 1899 and located in Normandy, from GEMS Education, one of the largest private education operators in the world based in Dubaï.

Moving forward, Ecole des Roches will be managed in close cooperation with its affiliate Ecole Jeannine Manuel, a French-based bilingual school with five campuses in Paris and Lille, welcoming 3,400 students representing over 80 nationalities as well as a namesake school in London, a registered British Charity welcoming 700 students.

This transaction is an illustration of ADVANT Altana’s ability to manage complex cross-border transactions requiring the involvement of numerous practice areas.

The ADVANT Altana team was led by Jean-Nicolas Soret, Olivier Carmès and Margaux Ripert (M&A) and included Amélie d'Heilly and Dany Luu (Employment), Philippe de Saint-Bauzel and Alexandre Thuau-Renaudet (Tax), Laura Morelli and Claire Borgel (IP/IT), Marie Hindré and Margaux Brunet (Contracts), Cécile Ferouelle and Alice Kremer (Public law).
