Stibbe successfully advised Ardian on the closing of its strategic investment in the Diot-Siaci Group, a leading European corporate insurance brokerage provider.
As part of the transaction, Ardian acquired the shareholdings of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Bpifrance, Cathay Capital, and other minority shareholders, becoming Diot-Siaci's lead financial shareholder, alongside the Burrus Group and the management team.
