Osborne Clarke's leveraged finance team advises leading independent credit fund Tresmares Capital on two recent investments

International legal practice Osborne Clarke has recently advised on two investments made by Tresmares Capital, a leading independent pan-European credit fund focused on the lower middle-market.

• Tresmares Capital provided a growth financing package to Puragen, a leading supplier of activated carbon-based filtration and purification solutions in Europe and North America.
• Tresmares Capital provided the debt package in support of CBPE's investment in Clifton Asset Management, a leading wealth management and pensions administration firm located near Bristol.  

Both deals were led by Philippe Arbour (Managing Partner of Tresmares UK) and Miguel Sanchez (Investment Director of Tresmares UK).

The Osborne Clarke team was led by leveraged finance associate director James Hunt, who was assisted by senior associate Jon Dodds and associate Jack Ready. Further support was provided by Seamus McKimm, Alec Bartlett and Lottie France (corporate); Chris Hickey (FIG); and Laura Hanley and Rebecca Houston (finance).

 "Osborne Clarke has been one of the key legal relationships since our expansion into the UK in early 2023. James’ advice and support has been instrumental in three bespoke transactions we have closed during 2024 and has reinforced him to be regarded internally at Tresmares as one of our go-to-persons when seeking financing legal support in the UK.”

Miguel Sanchez, Investment Director of Tresmares UK

"It is a pleasure to support Tresmares on yet further successful investments in the UK. We look forward to continuing our relationship as they invest in helping SMEs and private equity firms to sustainably accelerate their growth."
