Context

BlueGem Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in Lateral to facilitate the next phase of the group's national development.

By providing institutional capital and strategic oversight, BlueGem aimed to professionalize the group’s expansion strategy while preserving the artistic and lifestyle identity that defined the Lateral brand. Oaklins' team in Spain acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the sellers in this transaction.
