Bird & Bird advises CapMan Plc on majority acquisition of CAERUS Debt Investments AG

International law firm Bird & Bird has advised CapMan Plc, a leading Nordic private asset management expert, on the acquisition of 51 per cent of the shares of German based real estate debt specialist CAERUS Debt Investments AG. The transaction is expected to close in Q3 2025.

The firm’s integrated approach ensured efficient coordination across jurisdictions and strategic advice aligned with CapMan’s business objectives.
