Hoche Société d’Avocats, adviser to Editions Atlas regarding the sale of Atlas for Men to Activa
Hoche Société d’Avocats is advising Editions Atlas on the sale of Atlas for Men to Activa.
On 12 July 2016, Activa Capital added Atlas for Men to its portfolio, becoming the new majority shareholder in the mail-order clothing specialist after its departure from the Italian De Agostini group.
Set up in 1999 using the marketing know-how of Editions Atlas, Atlas for Men recorded turnover of €130M in 2015, with EBITDA close to €8 million. Experiencing constant growth in its market segment in France and internationally, the mail-order company is keen to continue developing its brand in new geographical areas and expand its online presence.
Hoche Société d’Avocats (Laurent Bensaid, partner, and Laura Vanhoutte, lawyer) acted on behalf of the shareholders selling their stake.
