YES acquired 100% of the share capital of Wainwright Associates.

A multi-disciplinary corporate, employment and real estate team from Pennington Manches acted for Chris and Penny Wainwright, the selling shareholders of Wainwright Associates. Guildford corporate partner Julian Harvey led the team that comprised employment partner Mike Cole and Bryan Park, Clare Coley, Conor Geoghegan and Sam Davies.

Mike O’Connor and Mary Edwards from BCMS Corporate were lead advisors to the shareholders in relation to the marketing and ultimate sale of Wainwright Associates.

Chris and Penny Wainwright said: "It has been a pleasure working with the team from Pennington Manches during the sale of our company. They made a complicated process very easy to follow and guided us every step of the way. Julian Harvey provided strong leadership and showed great initiative."

Since its establishment in 1994, YES has grown steadily to almost 200 people with locations in Germany, the USA, Brazil, India and Spain. It is one of the biggest and best known European service companies in the area of drug development regulatory affairs and drug safety.
