Boyes Turner advises on multimillion-pound sale of MotorDocs
Specialist technology law firm Boyes Turner has advised on the multimillion-pound sale of MotorDocs, a provider of document management systems in the automotive retail sector, to Keyloop.
The acquisition enables Keyloop, a market leader in technology solutions for the automotive industry, to obtain a strong document management platform. A multidisciplinary team from Thames Valley firm Boyes Turner advised MotorDocs’ shareholders on the sale.
Boyes Turner’s head of corporate Kate Eavis led the team in the latest deal for the firm. She said: "MotorDocs is transforming document management in the automotive industry. Consumers and dealers are increasingly looking for documentation to be digitally signed and stored. MotorDocs has one of the most sophisticated digitisation solutions on the market and has a strong UK presence and growing international interest. Keyloop aims to be the sector’s leading technology provider and the acquisition of MotorDocs is a significant milestone in its growth plans."
Andy Mee (pictured), managing director of MotorDocs added: "The Boyes Turner team led by Kate provided a fantastic service during the sale process, supporting the shareholders in every aspect of the deal resulting in the sale of the business in a very efficient and timely manner."
Eavis led the team supported by corporate solicitors Grace Hudson and Charlotte Gorman, head of technology Mark Blunden, employment partner Andy Whiteaker and commercial property specialist Phil Jacques.
