International law firm Osborne Clarke has advised Highland Europe on its growth capital investment in ME+EM – the UK’s first and fastest growing direct-to-consumer luxury fashion brand.
The Osborne Clarke team which advised Highland Europe was led by corporate partner Robert Wood and included senior associate Josephine Healy and associate Rachel Barbour.
Founded by British entrepreneur and former advertising executive, Clare Hornby, ME+EM has enjoyed triple digit revenue growth over the past year thanks to its data-driven, purpose-led approach to democratising access to sustainable, long-lasting, contemporary luxury clothing.
