Corbett Keeling is pleased to announce that the management team of Speciality European Pharma Limited (“SEP” or “the Company”), has acquired the Company from its venture capital shareholders, with the backing of Juno Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Juno”), an international speciality pharmaceutical company and leading life science investor.

The team at Corbett Keeling, led by Jim Keeling and Harry Knight, advised the management team on the buy-out, which completed in May 2016.

Their access to the appropriate funders in the UK and overseas, and their ability to move quickly, were both crucial to making this transaction possible.”
