Oaklins’ expertise was instrumental in facilitating this deal

Oaklins Evelyn Partners, based in the UK, supported Citizens Capital Markets as sell-side advisor to HCP in this transaction. Given our HVAC sector leadership, we were able to assist in the sale of HCP and, as part of that role, we positioned the opportunity to Smiths Group plc. The sale adds to Oaklins’ transaction experience in the HVAC sector.
