LOS ANGELES, CA – FocalPoint Partners, LLC (“FocalPoint”) has closed a significant debt capital raise for Integreon Inc. (“Integreon”), a provider of integrated legal, research and business support solutions. The capital, in the form of a multi-year revolving debt facility provided by Silicon Valley Bank, will be used to support Integreon’s rapid growth, which in recent months has accelerated even further following significant contract wins across all of its business lines. Integreon is the preeminent provider of integrated legal, research and business support solutions to corporations and law firms internationally, focusing on knowledge solutions to serve its client roster which includes 11 of the top 50 global brands, 32 of the top 50 U.S. law firms and 9 of the top 10 global investment banks.
Among its recent successes, Integreon recently executed a groundbreaking agreement with CMS Cameron McKenna (“CMcK”), a leading European provider of legal and tax services, to provide outsourced professional business solutions. This ten-year agreement, which began on April 1, 2011, is the legal industry’s largest outsourcing agreement ever and will generate over $300 million in revenues over its life. Through this contract, Integreon will now employ the majority of CMcK’s back-office support functions, including human resources, finance, IT and others. Nearly 200 of CMcK’s staff will be managed by Integreon’s London office, with additional support from its offices in Bristol, England and Delhi, India.
Richard Little, CFO of Integreon, said “The agreement with CMS Cameron McKenna is a key customer win for Integreon. FocalPoint’s ability to navigate the capital markets was crucial in securing the necessary financing to continue on our growth trajectory. We look forward to continued expansion within all our business lines and working with FocalPoint on various forthcoming growth initiatives.”
