Transaction Summary
Strata Partners is delighted to announce that it acted as exclusive corporate finance adviser on the simultaneous sale of Forensis Group Limited and Forensic Axis Limited, (trading respectively as Forensic Access and Axiom International (together the “Businesses”)) to Limerston Capital Partners I, L.P. These are two established businesses in forensic science services and international institutional reform and capacity building.
Operating from state-of-the-art facilities in Wantage (Oxfordshire), Forensic Access was established by Professor Angela Gallop in 1986 to provide high quality advice and guidance, and cutting edge science across all sectors of criminal and private sector justice. Forensic Access has since evolved to provide a comprehensive range of forensic science services both in the UK and internationally, with particular expertise in firearms and ballistics, fingerprints, forensic biology and DNA, animal forensics and a wide range of niche forensic and medico-legal capabilities.
With its headquarters in London, Axiom International operates globally, delivering imaginative, sustainable solutions in the fields of strategic capacity building, institutional and public sector reform, justice and peacebuilding, and national security development in some of the world’s most challenging regions.
Benefiting from investment by Limerston, the Businesses will now form the basis of a new international criminal justice services provider offering the very best of British forensic science, criminal justice and national security expertise to police forces, legal professionals and governments worldwide.
Management and the principal shareholders of parent company Forensic Axis were advised by Strata Partners.
