Encomara will maintain its brand and product identity while gaining access to Aurora’s global infrastructure and client network, with the consultancy business, which offers specialist advice on floating wind, mooring systems and subsea field development, continuing to operate as normal and benefitting from Aurora’s greater scale, resource and reach.

Burges Salmon’s Edinburgh-based Corporate and M&A team advised on the sale, led by partner Malcolm Donald, senior associate Scott Fyfe and solicitor Jenny Purcell.

Mr Donald said: “We’re proud to have advised on this significant transaction in the local market with a deal that strengthens Encomara’s position in the offshore floating wind market but which also aligns with Aurora’s vision for innovation and expansion.

“Our expertise in corporate M&A energy transactions allowed us to provide tailored solutions to facilitate a successful sale.”
