The deal represents an investment by Fujitsu into the growth of Australian tech companies
Lander & Rogers has helped technology and business solutions provider Fujitsu Australia Limited to successfully acquire Sydney-based IT consulting firm Enable Professional Services.
According to Fujitsu, the deal supports the company’s approach to using M&A as a tool to support its growth ambitions and reinforces its service management advisory, consulting, and delivery services capability in the Asia-Pacific region.
“I am delighted that Fujitsu is investing in the growth of Australian technology companies and helping them to expand on a global scale,” said Graeme Beardsell, Fujitsu Asia-Pacific executive vice president and CEO. “Together, Fujitsu and Enable Professional Services will accelerate our customers’ digital transformations, delivered through our combined deep-industry experience and specialist teams.”
In line with the acquisition, Enable Professional Services will be re-branded as “Enable, a Fujitsu company”, operating under the continued leadership of CEO Bruce Hara.
Partner Jackie Solakovski led the Lander & Rogers team in advising Fujitsu on several aspects of the transaction, including documenting a complex deal structure, negotiating strong deal protections, and addressing various complex cross-border elements and separation issues.
Solakovski worked alongside special counsel Paul Mayson, senior associate Alex Dworjanyn, and lawyer Alexandra Harley. A cross-practice multidisciplinary team, including workplace relations and safety, real estate, digital economy, and regulatory, also provided legal support.
