Addleshaw Goddard advises Kasamar Holdings on its investment into Gallery One

Addleshaw Goddard’s Dubai Corporate team has advised Kasamar Holdings, a newly formed Abu Dhabi family office, in relation to its first investment, the acquisition of a significant minority interest in the leading regional cultural retailer, Gallery One.

Founded by Gregg and Jane Sedgwick in 2006, Gallery One has established itself as a household name, with stores across the region. Gallery One will use the investment to accelerate plans to open new stores in the GCC region and to explore opportunities to diversify their product range.

The Addleshaw Goddard team was led by partner and head of corporate GCC, Andrew Johnston, with support from Lowri Llwyd (legal director), Ben Sims (associate) and Ahlam Souccarieh (head of corporate services).
