Hamilton Locke advises shareholders of Envirolab on acquisition by Intertek Group

We recently advised the shareholders of Envirolab on its acquisition by Intertek Group plc, a global leader in total quality assurance.

This transaction marks an exciting new chapter for Envirolab as it embarks on a new growth phase under the guidance of Intertek.

Envirolab has built a reputation as Australia’s leading independent environmental contamination and occupational hygiene laboratory. Under the stewardship of Tania Notaras, John Notaras, David Springer, Jacinta Hurst, and the broader team, Envirolab has become a trusted partner to industries nationwide, and this new chapter with Intertek creates exciting opportunities for continued expansion in the sector.

We were privileged to work alongside KPMG to deliver commercial, legal, and financial expertise, ensuring the transaction was seamless from start to finish. Our role spanned vendor due diligence, managing a competitive bid process, and providing comprehensive legal advice through to completion.

Reflecting on the transaction, Cristín McCoy, Partner at Hamilton Locke, said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure advising the Envirolab shareholders on this transaction. Their dedication to building a market-leading business is clear, and this partnership with Intertek is a testament to the strength of what they’ve created. We are thrilled to see such a fantastic outcome for all involved.”

The Hamilton Locke team was led by Partner Cristín McCoy, with support from Senior Associates Anna Elliott and Debbie Tran, and Lawyer Zane O’Neill, as well as specialists across Employment, Property, Intellectual Property, and New Zealand teams.

We congratulate the Envirolab and Intertek teams and look forward to their continued success in the future.
