Russell-Cooke advises Certitude Support on business and asset purchase following Vibrance administration
Russell-Cooke’s charity and not-for-profit and insolvency practices advised Certitude Support on its acquisition of certain social care services operated by social care charity Vibrance, after Vibrance was placed into administration.
Certitude Support provides support to people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and people with mental health support needs.
Certitude Support implemented the transaction with Vibrance’s administrators through a separate group company. The transaction resulted in the transfer of more than 400 staff and the continuation of Vibrance’s vital social care services.
Russell-Cooke advised on all aspects of the transaction including the governance and commercial aspects, employment law and TUPE advice, and on the property and insolvency aspects of the transaction.
Russell-Cooke’s advice was led by legal director Sukanya Ransford who advised on the governance and commercial aspects of the transaction supported by partner Andrew Studd; partner Carla Whalen advised on TUPE and data protection; partner Richard Jones advised on property matters; and partner Simon Jerrum of the firm’s insolvency team advised on insolvency matters relating to the transaction.
This transaction required close coordination across multiple specialist areas to support the continuation of vital services. We were pleased to advise Certitude Support on the governance, commercial and insolvency aspects of the acquisition, helping to ensure a smooth transfer for colleagues and people supported.
