A Legal Army Behind the Scenes
The transaction is supported by a multifaceted legal team. Ashurst’s team is led by partners Tom Mercer and Duncan Liddell, joined by a battery of associates and advisers covering employment, pension, and litigation issues. Linklaters is steering the global legal work for WSP, ensuring regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.
Completion of the acquisition is expected by December, assuming all conditions are met. If successful, the deal could signal a broader trend of transatlantic consolidation in the green tech and infrastructure consulting sectors, with firms like WSP racing to secure market dominance in the climate-conscious era.
