    München, 22. Februar 2024 – Unter Federführung von Holger Ebersberger und Dr. Thomas Diekmann hat McDermott Will & Emery die NORD Holding beim Erwerb einer Mehrheitsbeteiligung an der ABJ alive GmbH beraten.  Dabei stand McDermott der NORD Holding auch mit seinem Private Equity Finance-Team unter Leitung von Dr. Matthias Weissinger bei der Akquisitionsfinanzierung zur Seite.

    Gemeinsam mit ABJ plant NORD Holding eine europäische Wachstumsstrategie im Bereich der Lohnherstellung für Premium-Nahrungsergänzungsmittel. ABJ-Gründerin Anna-Bettina Jürges bleibt am Unternehmen beteiligt und wird die Unternehmensentwicklung künftig aus dem Beirat heraus begleiten.

    Die 2010 gegründete ABJ alive GmbH ist ein führender Lohnhersteller und Entwicklungspartner (CDMO) für Unternehmen im Bereich natürliche, pflanzliche und probiotische Nahrungsergänzungsmittel. Das Unternehmen mit Produktionsstandort in Creußen beschäftigt rund 60 Mitarbeiter.

    Die NORD Holding ist eine Private-Equity- und Asset Management-Gesellschaft mit einem verwalteten Vermögen von 3 Mrd. Euro. Der Schwerpunkt des Direktgeschäfts liegt in der Strukturierung und Finanzierung von Unternehmensnachfolgemodellen, der Übernahme von Konzernteilen/-tochtergesellschaften sowie der Expansionsfinanzierung mittelständischer Unternehmen. Der Bereich Fondsinvestments zielt auf das Micro- und Small Cap-Segment mittelstandsorientierter Private-Equity-Fonds Europas.

    Bei der NORD Holding wurde die Investition durch das Healthcare-Team begleitet. Das Private Equity-Haus unterstreicht damit erneut seine Sektorkompetenz im Bereich Healthcare und B2B-Auftragsfertigung.

    McDermott hatte die NORD Holding zuletzt beim Erwerb der Schweizer Suter Gruppe durch die NORD Holding Portfolio-Gesellschaft Heizkurier beraten.

    McDermott Adds Former US Attorney’s Office Criminal Chief in Chicago

    February 13, 2024

    Read time: 5 min

    International law firm McDermott Will & Emery welcomes back Matthew “Matt” Madden as a partner in its Litigation Practice Group in Chicago. Having started his career at McDermott as an Associate, Matt is rejoining the Firm after most recently serving as the chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office in Chicago, where he supervised approximately 125 assistant United States attorneys working on the office’s most complex, high-profile investigations.

    “Companies and their senior executives face growing state and federal scrutiny and enforcement actions, and we continue to see increased demand for our experienced high-stakes litigators” said Steven Scholes, global head of McDermott’s Litigation Practice Group. “At the US Attorney’s Office, Matt handled some of Chicago’s most significant and high-profile cases in recent years, and his unique insight as a federal prosecutor will provide clients valuable perspective. „It is a pleasure to welcome back Matt, and with his return to McDermott, he will immediately contribute to our Firm culture and client work.”

    As a first-chair trial lawyer, Matt has tried more than 25 federal criminal trials. He led and supervised investigations into nearly every type of federal criminal offense, including securities fraud, healthcare fraud, insider trading, money laundering, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act offenses, cybercrimes, bank fraud, mail and wire fraud, and terrorism.

    Matt recently led a successful 11-week trial against the former senior executives of Outcome Health for a $1 billion corporate, bank and investor fraud scheme. Crain’s Chicago Business referred to this case as “one of the most high-profile and lengthy white-collar cases in Chicago history,” lauding the win as a decisive victory for Matt and the federal prosecutors.

    “I started my career at McDermott and had such a positive experience that I’m excited to return to where it all began for me,” Matt said. “The Firm’s industry leading white-collar practice, which includes other exceptional former assistant United States attorneys and litigators, as well as its collaborative culture, made this a really appealing opportunity for me. I’m eager to help grow the practice and deliver favorable outcomes for clients.”
