Wilson Partners Corporate Finance team were delighted to support WebTMS Limited with sell-side M&A and tax advisory in a deal that combines modern automation with proven global IP portfolio management.

Deal overview

The combination brings together two highly complementary platforms within the IP management space, combining Alt Legal’s automation-first approach to IP docketing and portfolio management with WebTMS’s 25+ years of experience supporting global IP professionals with comprehensive portfolio management software.

Alt Legal is trusted by more than 1,300 organisations worldwide and is recognised for its intuitive platform, which connects to over 180 global IP offices to improve accuracy and reduce manual administration. WebTMS has built a strong reputation for deep configurability, hands-on client service and long-standing relationships with leading law firms and multinational corporations.

Together, the businesses are well positioned to deliver a more comprehensive and highly automated platform for trademark professionals globally, while continuing to support the workflows and service levels customers rely on today.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing the transaction together.

Dan James, Director – Head of Corporate Finance, Wilson Partners commented: “We were delighted to advise the shareholders of UK-based WebTMS on their exit to US-based AltLegal. The deal was complex across several areas; however, through commitment and collaboration between all parties, it was executed swiftly and successfully. The transaction represented a fantastic result for all parties and brings together two complementary platforms in the IP management sector. We look forward to watching what the combination can achieve together in the future!”

We had an excellent experience working with Wilson Partners during the sale of our business. From start to finish, their team was diligent, patient, and meticulous in executing the deal. They guided us through each stage of the process with clarity and professionalism, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently.

Wilson Partners commitment and expertise gave us complete confidence, and thanks to their support we were able to successfully complete the sale. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and dedicated financial advisors.
