Global Investment firm Carlyle has acquired a majority stake in Incubeta, an internationally recognized leader in digital marketing, and one of a select few globally certified Google Marketing Platform (GMP) partners.

International law firm Osborne Clarke advised the global management team of Incubeta in connection with the sale and the Incubeta management team's reinvestment into the business. The Osborne Clarke team, led by partner Russell van Praagh, comprised private equity lawyers Leanne Wright (associate director in the management advisory group) and associate Harry Stewart, assisted by trainee solicitor Aisling Farley. Associate director Lara Flynn provided employment advice.

Lars Lehne, Global CEO of Incubeta, said: "Working with the OC team made us feel guided, protected and supported every step of the way. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them."
