The sale of The Fry Group to Progeny expands Progeny’s advice reach to Europe, Middle East and Asia, and also increases its total assets under management to more than £7.5bn.
Tim Young, legal director at Foot Anstey, commented: "We have been working with the team at The Fry Group for a number of years headed by Client Relationship Partner, Alan Hughes, and developed a very good working relationship. So much so that we were asked to support the company on its sale to Progeny.
"Every sale of a business is not just a transaction, but a culmination of the hard work of the business owners behind the company. This is the beginning of a new chapter for The Fry Group and Progeny, and we feel privileged to have been part of the panel of advisory firms involved."
The Foot Anstey team was led by corporate partner Duncan Sykes.
The law firm recently opened its first Northern office after acquiring Clarke Wilmott's intellectual property team.
