Global law firm Reed Smith has advised Videoplaza on its acquisition by video streaming company Ooyala. Videoplaza operates one of the world’s largest premium video ad serving platforms, working for half of Europe’s broadcasters and several tier-one media owners in the Asia-Pacific region.

The cross-border Reed Smith team included: partner Michael Young and associate Andrew Clark in London; partner Yvan-Claude Pierre in New York; and partner Brian Miner in Philadelphia.

Michael Young, Reed Smith corporate partner, commented:

“This was a complex multi-jurisdictional transaction with a large number of stakeholders spread across Sweden, the UK, the U.S., Australia and others. The deal required specialist experience of cross-border technology transactions and that’s something Reed Smith does very well across the globe.”
