Gide advised Eurazeo on its entry into exclusive discussions with a consortium of investors led by La Financière de Blacailloux (Fiblac), the Chamoin family's holding company, for the sale of its majority stake in Albingia, a leading company in the French commercial insurance lines market. The consortium is composed of -in addition to Fiblac- management teams, Krefeld (Hermès families’ family office) and Fairfax Financial Holdings (a Canadian company specialising in insurance and re-insurance).
The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and certain other conditions, and is expected to be finalized in spring 2025.
The Gide team was led by partner Charles de Reals and counsel Corentin Charlès, along with partner Magali Buchert and associate Charles Ghuysen.
Fiblac and the consortium as a whole were advised by Goodwin, Krefeld by Linklaters and Fairfax by Baker McKenzie.
