A team of Pillsbury lawyers advised ComplySci, the leading provider of regulatory technology for financial and professional services companies, on a recent strategic investment in the company from private equity firm Vista Equity Partners. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed, though existing ComplySci investor Edison Partners retained an ownership stake. The deal was announced on August 23.
New York City-based ComplySci offers technology solutions that help compliance organizations—including some of the world’s largest financial institutions—identify, monitor, manage and report on conflicts of interest arising from employee activities, including personal trading, gifts and entertainment, political contributions, outside business affiliations, and other code of ethics violations. Vista is a leading private equity firm focused on software, data, and technology-enabled businesses, with more than $31 billion in cumulative capital commitments.
The Pillsbury team that advised ComplySci on this transaction was led by Corporate partners Ron Fleming and Stephen B. Amdur, counsel Bianca K. Bowen and associates Royce Liu, Samantha Fox and Clinton Jang; Tax partner Nora E. Burke and associate Hannah Hollingsworth; Executive Compensation & Benefits partner Peter J. Hunt and counsel Jessica Lutrin; and Litigation special counsel Rebecca Carr Rizzo.
