The strategic investment from UI Investissement and IRD Invest will support MSA’s growth in France and its expansion in Europe.
The Squire Patton Boggs team advising MSA was led by Paris Corporate partner Arnaud Lafarge, assisted by associates Kévin Cosmao and Elise Crouzil, and included partner Charles Briand on tax matters and partner Benjamin Marché and associate Yasmina Taki on banking and finance aspects.
