Waterfront advise Infinum on their acquisition of AMR Cybersecurity

Infinum was acquiring AMR Cybersecurity, marking its first UK acquisition and a significant step in its international growth strategy. The transaction involved UK group structuring, due diligence, and the preparation of transaction documents. Additional complexity arose because the target business provided cybersecurity services to UK government departments, requiring clearance under the National Security and Investment Act. As a first UK transaction, the client needed clear, measured advice on process, risk, and regulatory requirements to ensure the acquisition progressed smoothly and in compliance with UK law.

We advised Infinum throughout the transaction, providing partner‑led support on UK group structuring, due diligence, and transaction documentation. We also guided the client through the National Security and Investment Act approval process, ensuring that the regulatory implications of acquiring a government‑facing cybersecurity provider were properly addressed. Our approach focused on giving calm, clear, and commercially grounded advice, tailored to a client navigating the UK legal landscape for the first time. We worked closely with the Infinum team to explain the process, manage risk, and keep the transaction moving efficiently, while ensuring that regulatory and transactional requirements were met in full.

The acquisition of AMR Cybersecurity completed successfully, marking Infinum’s first UK acquisition. The transaction established the foundations for the group’s planned growth in cybersecurity services, complementing its existing technology and development capabilities. The deal also positioned Infinum to expand its UK presence and pursue its wider ambition to become a global provider of cybersecurity services.

Andrew Gordon, Head of Corporate and Commercial Law, commented:

“It was a genuine pleasure working with the Infinum team on this transaction.  The whole team at Infinum are great, very ambitious and entrepreneurial, exactly the type of people I love working with.  This transaction marks a big step in the Infinum journey, not only its first in the UK, but also the start of a strategic push to become a global provider of cybersecurity services, in addition to their already very impressive portfolio of tech and development services.  I have no doubt that the team will make a success of this, and wish them the best of luck.”

Igor Vuksanovic, CFO of Infinum, said:

“Andrew and the Waterfront team were very important in making this transaction work for Infinum.  As our first UK acquisition, we needed a legal partner to give us quality, calm and measured legal advice on the process, which Andrew and the team did very well.”
