Argo advises the Equine Care Group and its shareholders on CNP’s strategic investment into the group and the group’s international expansion

Argo Law advised Equine Care Group (ECG) and its shareholders, including Bencis, on the strategic investmentby CNP, the investment company of the Frère family, into the group, making it the new majority shareholder.

This new partnership gives ECG additional financial strength to pursue its global ambitions – while preserving its unique veterinarian-led model. ECG currently operates in 11 countries and treats over 50,000 horses annually.

In parallel with the CNP deal, ECG also completed two strategic acquisitions in Brazil, including the country’s largest equine fertility clinic. These transactions are part of ECG’s broader plan to strengthen its global network and expand into key regions such as the Americas, Australia and the Middle East.

We’re proud to have supported ECG and Bencis on this double milestone for the group.
