Noerr advises Areva on the sale of parts of its nuclear division

07.01.2016

Noerr, in conjunction with its French partner law firm FTPA, is advising Areva Group on the strategic sale of its Canberra division. The group announced in Paris that it would accept the offer of the US group Mirion Technologies, Inc. and its majority owner, private equity investor Charterhouse.

Like Mirion, Canberra manufactures nuclear radiation measuring equipment and is the global leader in the segment. In Germany, Canberra operates one site in Rüsselsheim. The transaction is to be completed by the end of 2016.

Noerr is advising Areva with a team from the Energy Group led by the Berlin partners Dr Tibor Fedke and Dr Holger Schmitz. The Noerr Energy Group frequently supports cross-border transactions involving complex energy law and regulatory issues, such as a recent engagement for the UK company Interconnector with regard to its investment in the European gas trading platform PRISMA. Among the clients of the Noerr Energy Group are the world’s largest grid operator State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), Gazprom, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Swisspower Renewables, Macquarie and EdF.
