International law firm Osborne Clarke has advised private equity investment fund, Queen's Park Equity, on its investment in FutureDeluxe.
FutureDeluxe is a global experimental creative studio focused on crafting aspirational content for future facing brands. The business is respected worldwide for best-in-class CGI, VFX and real-time moving imagery. Their sophisticated design aesthetic has been sought out by some of the world's most loved brands including Apple, Nike, Converse, Sony PlayStation and Google.
The Osborne Clarke team was led by partner Russell Van Praagh and supported by associate director Seamus McKimm, senior associate Alec Bartlett, Associate Harshna Patel and trainee Mirshad Ahani. Partner David Nisbet and senior associate Bridget Baillie advised on tax and senior associate Lara Flynn advised on employment.
FutureDeluxe has studios in London, Los Angeles and Sydney and, with Queen's Park Equity's investment, now has the opportunity to continue growing both its global footprint and service offering. Alongside future acquisitions & partnerships, FutureDeluxe plans to open new studios in key markets, while maintaining its current boutique status, ensuring each studio retains its unique identity and culture but is part of a ‘Future Family’ that is best in class globally.
FutureDeluxe is the fifth platform investment from Queen’s Park Equity Fund I, which was oversubscribed and closed at its hard cap of £202m in December 2020. QPE is focused on providing capital and expertise to high-quality, entrepreneur-led businesses within the Education, Health & Pharma and Tech Services sectors, with an ambition to accelerate their growth.
