National law firm Freeths has advised on the sale of Bristol-based Microwave Amps to ScandiNova Systems - a world leader in high-end pulsed power systems used in the radiotherapy, medicine and research sectors.

Microwave Amps, based in Bedminster, produces advanced Radio Frequency (RF) amplifiers used in various applications and the deal will see the companies targeting similar segments to benefit customers with a stronger combined portfolio.

Microwave Amps will continue to operate under the leadership of its managing director and founder Neil Richardson.

He said: "The Freeths team provided exemplary help and guidance throughout the complete process, with all shareholders agreeing that the best possible settlement had been achieved. We are all very glad that we appointed Freeths to take us through this process, and consider ourselves fortunate to have had Freeths on our side."

The Freeths team was led by corporate partners Emily Settle and Lottie Hugo, supported by managing associate Ed Chapman, associate Charlotte Collard and trainee solicitor Ellie Harrison.

Lottie Hugo added: "We were delighted to work with the Founders of Microwave Amps on their exit, and the sale to ScandiNova secures an exciting future for the business.

"It was a pleasure also to work alongside the PKF team. This is a great example of Freeths’ corporate team delivering complex transactions in the local market."
