Gide, counsel to Hitachi Data Systems on the acquisition of oXya

Gide advises Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Japanese group Hitachi Ltd based in California, on the acquisition of oXya, a leader in SAP technical solutions, and cloud services.

The acquisition of oXya is expected to close by the end of March, subject to authorisation from the anti-trust authority. Upon the close of the acquisition, oXya will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Data Systems and will continue to execute its current business model.

The team comprised David-James Sebag (partner) and Bruno Laffont on corporate aspects (with assistance from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in California), Emmanuel Reille (partner) and Grégoire Colmet Daage on anti-trust aspects, and François Vergne (partner) on labour law aspects.
