Lewis Silkin has advised Publicis Healthcare Communications Group, the largest healthcare communications network in the world and part of Publicis Groupe, on its acquisition of Langland Advertising, Design & Marketing Limited, one of Europe’s largest and most highly regarded healthcare communications agencies.

Langland is the world’s most creatively awarded healthcare advertising agency having amassed over 300 awards in recent years including being named Cannes Lions Health Agency of the Year in 2014 and 2015 as well as five Best in Show winners at the IPA Best of Health Awards.

The deal will see Langland Chief Executive Philip Chin and the senior management team remain to lead the Langland business whilst Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Joanna Chin will step away to pursue other opportunities outside of the sector.

For the transaction, the Lewis Silkin team was led by corporate partner Paul Rajput and supported by corporate tax partner Matthew Rowbotham.

Lewis Silkin also supported Publicis Healthcare Communications Group earlier this year on its acquisition of Tardis Medical and also supported Publicis Worldwide on the acquisitions of content marketing agency August earlier this year and shopper marketing agency Vivid Brand late last year.

Paul says:

“We are very pleased to have supported longstanding client Publicis Groupe on a second key acquisition in as many months for Publicis Healthcare Communications Group and a third in as many months for the wider Publicis Groupe. The deal again highlights Lewis Silkin’s market-leading expertise in mid-market M&A in the marketing communications and related sectors”.
