Our Corporate team has advised long-standing client Systematic Growth, via its Elvirian business, on its acquisition of 4Secure, a software security design and solutions business serving clients across the defence, government and critical infrastructure sectors.

4Secure develops software security solutions for organisations operating in security-critical and highly regulated environments. Its expertise in secure data transfer and trusted information exchange further strengthens Systematic Growth's portfolio of mission-critical cybersecurity solutions businesses.

Our team was led by Corporate Partner Ragi Singh, supported by Associates Rory Chatterton and Raphaella Bojouri (Corporate), Elizabeth Williams (Defence Sector Lead) Kate Featherstone (Tax Partner), Sam Beighton (NSIA Partner) and Sam Holland (W&I Partner).

Parsa Lalehzar, Investment Director and Deal Lead at Systematic Growth said: “Ragi, Rory and Kate are our go to team as they are pragmatic, responsive and understand our deal structure inside out.  On this transaction what really came to the fore was Gowling WLG’s understanding of the cyber and defence sectors including defence sector regulations, HM Government, NSIA considerations and its specialist warranty and indemnity insurance team. This allowed them to find a way to get the deal done regardless of the difficulty of the issue before them.

Gowling WLG's Corporate team supports clients on acquisitions, disposals and investments at every stage of the transaction lifecycle. Combining deep transactional experience with specialist expertise from across the firm, the team helps businesses execute strategic growth plans and achieve their commercial objectives.
