Ashurst Advises Xpansiv on 100% Acquisition of Evident Group

"Ashurst advised Xpansiv as lead counsel on its 100% acquisition of Evident Group. The deal unites Xpansiv’s market infrastructure — including NAR, TIGR and CBL — with Evident’s registries such as I-REC(E) to create a global clean energy registry network with over 300 GW capacity."

Ashurst represented Xpansiv as lead counsel in its 100% acquisition of Evident Group. The transaction combines Xpansiv’s market infrastructure for scaling the energy transition — including the North American Renewables Registry (NAR), the Tradable Instrument for Global Renewables Registry (TIGR) and CBL, the largest spot exchange for environmental commodities — with Evident’s certification and registry capabilities, including its I-REC(E) registry. The acquisition follows Xpansiv’s earlier purchase of a minority interest in Evident announced in January 2024 and creates a world-leading clean energy registry network, uniting the renewable energy certificate registries of Evident and Xpansiv with a combined global capacity exceeding 300 GW. Ashurst represented Xpansiv with a team composed by: Chris Grey (Partner, Tech M&A); Dillon Fuzi (Lead Senior Associate, Tech M&A); Lottie White (Senior Associate, Corporate); Daniella Zecchino (Associate, Corporate); Ruth Buchanan (Partner, Employment); David Pemberton (Senior Associate, Employment); John Papadakis (Counsel, Incentives); Duncan Liddell (Partner, Competition); Philippa Stacey (Associate, Competition); Nicholas Gardner (Partner, Tax); Monique Thompson (Associate, Tax); Tim West (Partner, Dispute Resolution); Louise Duffy (Senior Associate, Dispute Resolution).
