Law firm Walkers has advised Sapiens International Corporation on its $2.5 billion acquisition by private equity firm Advent
Walkers worked alongside US and Israeli law firms; Latham & Watkins and Meitar, to provide legal advice on the Cayman and Guernsey law aspects of the deal.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sapiens shareholders will receive $43.50 per share in cash. This is a premium of about 64% over the share price on 8 August 2025.
Once the deal is complete, Sapiens’ shares will be delisted, and it will become a privately owned company.
The Walkers team was led by their London office head of M&A, Neil McDonald, and included numerous London-based partners, senior counsel, and senior associates advising on the Cayman law aspects of the transaction.
Guernsey Partner Craig Cordle and Senior Associate Annaliese McGeoch worked on the Guernsey law aspects of the transaction.
Mr McDonald said: “We’re thrilled to have supported Sapiens in relation to this significant transaction, which marks an important milestone in the company’s journey and continuing development.”
He added: “Congratulations to the Sapiens team and everyone involved in the deal.”
