Freeths has counselled Pitch International on the investment into leading events and production company D&G Group.

Pitch International is a leading sports marketing agency which specialises in the representation of media and partnership rights on behalf of some of the world’s top sports people.

D&G focuses on the flawless execution in the events and services sector, to ensure it maximises the customers’ experience and donations. This has led to D&G being one of the UK’s most trusted advisors to corporates for CSR.

The Freeths team was led by corporate partner Francis Dalton and supported by Henrietta Rendell, Claire Boyce, Kevin Poulter and Alice Smith.

Francis Dalton said: “We were delighted to assist Pitch International with this headline transaction in the events space. The transaction further demonstrates Freeths’ strength in private equity backed platform transactions.”

Neil Bailey of Pitch International added: “The Freeths team did an excellent job on this transaction. They were brilliant throughout and a pleasure to work with. Freeths genuinely provides a partner-led service which allowed us to find innovative solutions and unblock issues quickly and easily.”
