Kirkland Advises Advent and Cobham Ultra on Sale of Ultra Cyber to Airbus
Kirkland & Ellis is advising Advent and Cobham Ultra, a portfolio company of Advent, on entry into a definitive agreement to sell Ultra Cyber to Airbus Defence and Space, a UK sovereign provider of critical cyber capabilities.
The transaction creates a scale UK sovereign cyber champion and allows Airbus to strengthen its end-to-end cyber portfolio, complementing the existing UK sovereign capabilities of its Cyber business based in Newport, Wales.
The Kirkland team includes corporate lawyers Vincent Bergin and Douglas Collins; technology & IP transactions lawyers Ben Zeris and Calum Parfitt; antitrust and competition lawyer Chris Thomas; and tax lawyers Siv Devakumar and Tomás McGrath.
