New York, NY. International law firm Nixon Peabody LLP is proud to have represented Halma plc in its acquisition of E2S, a UK-based designer and manufacturer of high-performance notification, initiation, and detection devices.
Halma, based in Amersham, United Kingdom, is a publicly traded global group of life-saving technology companies delivering safety, environmental, and health solutions to many of the key problems facing the world today. This acquisition enables Halma to build upon its existing strengths in fire safety and gas detection, providing a broader range of solutions to help protect people in hazardous environments.
E2S develops products that help mitigate risks in hazardous industrial and manufacturing environments. Its range of high-performance signaling solutions are critical components of process safety systems that play a vital role in alerting workers to potential dangers such as gas leaks, fires, or equipment failures.
“This transaction enables both companies to focus on their commitment to advancing safety technologies for critical industries globally,” said Daniel Belostock, a partner in Nixon Peabody’s Corporate practice, who led the firm’s deal team. “It was a pleasure to support Halma in this acquisition, and we look forward to seeing the results of it for years to come.”
E2S will remain a standalone company within Halma’s Safety Sector, led by its current management team.
In addition to Belostock, the Nixon Peabody team included partners Kevin Grant, Joe Maher, Jenny Holmes, Mark Knights, Seth Levy, Alexandra Lopez-Casero, Damian Myers, and Brian Whittaker; counsel Lisa Perri, David Crosby, Jennifer Berrios, Hillary Baca, and Courtney New; senior attorney Shelagh Michaud; associates Christina Porras and Vince Capati; and paralegals Delaney Jaffarian and Astrid McGruder. Nixon Peabody partnered with Osborne Clarke in London, UK, led by Matt Edwards.
