The University of Law (ULaw) has been acquired by Global University Systems (GUS) for an undisclosed sum in a deal that has handed roles to Linklaters, Travers Smith and Eversheds.

Private equity house Montagu, advised by Linklaters, has sold the institution less than three years after its purchase.

GUS, owners of the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) and St Patrick's College, turned to Eversheds for advice, while Travers Smith acted for the senior management of ULaw on the sale, led by private equity head Paul Dolman with support from tax partner Russell Warren.
