Liberty advises the management team of Anaqua on its acquisition by Nordic Capital

Liberty Corporate Finance is pleased to announce its role in advising the management team of Anaqua, a leading provider of global Intellectual Property (IP) Management solutions, on its acquisition by Nordic Capital.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Anaqua operates offices across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. With a global workforce of over 900 employees, the company has emerged as a leader in IP SaaS solutions. Anaqua’s scalable cloud platforms serve thousands of clients, enabling them to leverage innovation and transform IP management from a protective function to a strategic advantage.

Anaqua’s unique solutions integrate best-in-class workflows, data analytics, foreign filings, and patent and trademark renewal payments into single, mission-critical platforms. These end-to-end solutions streamline operations, inform strategic decision-making, and empower clients to manage their valuable IP portfolios with ease.

This acquisition marks a strategic investment aimed at accelerating Anaqua’s growth, supporting its global expansion, and further enhancing its market leadership. By continuing to develop its cutting-edge software and operational capabilities, Anaqua is well-positioned to further solidify its standing in the IP management space.

Liberty provided invaluable advice throughout the lifecycle of our transaction, supporting the management team on the commercial and technical aspects associated with a change of ownership.
