Bristol-headquartered law firm TLT has advised global publishing company DVV Media on its acquisition of UK specialist publishing firm Road Transport Media, which owns publications such as Commercial Motor, Motor Transport and Truck & Driver.
Hamburg based DVV produces more than 30 B2B publications in the transport and logistics, maritime, rail, public transport, travel/conferences and defence sectors, including Railway Gazette International and Air Cargo News.
The TLT team was led by corporate partner Alice Gardner and included corporate solicitor Luke Thorngate-Davies, tax partner Nathan Williams and employment solicitor Catherine Roylance. 
Alice Gardner, pictured, said: “This deal gives DVV Media the opportunity to strengthen its portfolio of publications and grow its international reach, with increased traction in the UK market.
“We worked alongside the acquisition team at DVV giving them clear, pragmatic advice on the UK acquisition process and ensuring that the deal was completed within the tight deadlines.”
DVV Media CEO Martin Weber added: “This acquisition is an important milestone for us as it expands our international publishing presence, especially in the UK. Throughout the complex process we worked closely with the TLT team, who consistently gave us excellent commercial advice on all aspects of preparing for and executing the deal.”
