Hogan Lovells advises FLEX Capital on the acquisition of 3C Deutschland

In the course of a carve-out, FLEX Capital has acquired the company in partnership with the existing management team from Experian, the global data and technology company. CEO Thorsten Haag and CTO and Co-Founder Uwe Mengs will remain in their operational roles and are reinvesting alongside FLEX to drive the next phase of growth. The aim is to further strengthen the market position in the DACH region and to strategically advance the platform through new product lines and the enhancement of existing modules with technological added value, such as AI-based functions to increase automation.

FLEX Capital is a private equity fund founded by successful serial entrepreneurs, investing in profitable, growing companies from the German internet and software midmarket. Its current portfolio comprises ten business platforms.

Hogan Lovells provided FLEX Capital with comprehensive legal advice throughout the entire transaction process. The team led by Partner Dr. Jan Philipp Feigen and Counsels Dr. Daniel Mattig and Dr. Philipp Strümpell regularly advises FLEX Capital on corporate acquisitions – most recently on the acquisition of Simovative, a market leader in campus management software in the DACH region.
