The Penningtons Manches Cooper team was led by corporate partner David Kendall, with support from corporate senior associate Hannah McIlwraith and corporate associate Hatem Abass. The wider team included tax partner Stephen Goldstraw, corporate associate Danielle Broadhead, tax associate Leonie Langley, and commercial and IP senior associate Fiona Rodgers.

Simon Nugent, CEO of Alemba, commented: “Volaris is an excellent home for Alemba and we are excited to bring the benefits of Volaris’ expertise and long term vision to our customers. Working with David and the team at Penningtons Manches Cooper was an absolute pleasure, in particular, we valued their expertise in dealing with cross-border acquisitions – their advice and leadership was hugely appreciated.”

David Kendall said: “We are pleased to have acted for the shareholders of Alemba on the sale to Volaris Group. Penningtons Manches Cooper have worked with the company and its founders for almost 10 years and wish the company and all involved great success under its new ownership.”
