Stephenson Harwood advises Civica on Malinko acquisition

Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has advised Civica, a private equity backed business, on its acquisition of Malinko Health & Care Technologies Ltd, the clinical e-scheduling specialists.

Established in 2017, Malinko enables healthcare professionals to coordinate a single patient’s care across multiple organisations – including NHS trusts, charities and local authorities – and aligns with the NHS's long term plan to deliver more healthcare in the community. Civica is a global public sector software provider, and is backed by private equity fund Partners Group. This transaction complements Civica's existing range of health and care software, which already supports more than 400 organisations across the sector.

The Stephenson Harwood team was led by private equity partner Malcolm MacDougall, who was supported by associate Dafni Loizou.
