Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised The Carlyle Group on its acquisition of a majority stake in Memsource, a leading Czech translation business, from its existing shareholders.

Memsource management, including Founder and CEO David Canek, remain shareholders in the business.

"Our team helped to successfully navigate this important acquisition for Carlyle – it is a strong strategic fit and will significantly accelerate the pace at which Memsource brings innovative solutions to its customers," said White & Case partner Ken Barry, who led the Firm's deal team. "Carlyle's investment in Memsource clearly plays to the established White & Case strengths advising on cross-border deals in the private equity and technology sectors."
