Axeptio accelerates its international expansion with the acquisition of AdOpt

Axeptio, a European specialist in the management of digital consent, is continuing its international expansion with the acquisition of AdOpt, a Brazilian company well established in its market. Joffe & Associés (Thomas Saltiel, Charlotte Viandaz & Antoine Lamy) advised Axeptio on this transaction.

 

This acquisition is part of a growth strategy aimed at strengthening the company’s presence in Latin America, particularly following its recent move into Canada. The choice of Brazil is not insignificant: with more than 216 million inhabitants and strict data protection regulations (LGPD), the country represents a key sector for consent management solutions. This acquisition will enable AdOpt to amplify its impact and extend its mission beyond the Brazilian market, while benefiting from Axeptio’s expertise in compliance and technological innovation.

 

AdOpt is a recognised player in the field of digital consent, working with over 50,000 websites worldwide. Its customers include prestigious brands such as Nike, LEGO and Reebok. The Brazilian company offers a flexible solution, combining self-service and personalised support, while complying with the main international regulations such as the RGPD and the CCPA. Thanks to its integration within Axeptio, AdOpt will be able to broaden its scope and benefit from the technological resources and experience of its new acquirer.

 

The merger is based on a shared vision: to offer a simple, transparent and engaging consent experience that meets the needs of both businesses and users. By integrating AdOpt into its development dynamic, Axeptio is strengthening its position on the global market and equipping itself with an infrastructure adapted to local specificities. This alliance marks a new stage in the company’s internationalisation strategy and opens the door to new opportunities in other markets.

Human & Work becomes part of the Telus health division

Human & Work, a consultancy firm specialising in mental health in the workplace, is joining the healthcare division of Telus, a listed Canadian group with sales of over €13.5 billion, following the exit of Geneo, Bpifrance and NCI. Joffe & Associés (Romain Soiron, Aymeric Dégremont, Paddy Pascot & Antoine Danieck) advised Human & Work on this transaction.

 

French company Human & Work, which specialises in mental health consulting and executive coaching, is to be acquired by Telus Health, the healthcare arm of the Canadian group Telus. This acquisition marks the exit of investors Geneo Capital Entrepreneur, Bpifrance and NCI. With sales of €35 million, Human & Work is joining a key player in the sector, with which it has already been working for several years.

 

Boosted by a growing number of acquisitions in recent years, notably in Spain, Italy and Germany, the company now covers a number of areas, from psychological health in the workplace to career transition and executive coaching. The Covid crisis has accelerated demand for its services, particularly in the areas of psychological support and risk prevention. Its integration into Telus Health now gives it access to a vast network of over 100,000 healthcare professionals worldwide. This strategic alliance will enable Telus Health to strengthen its presence in Europe, while Human & Work gains in international scope.

 

‘This merger offers growth prospects for all parties, with Human & Work strengthening Telus‘ presence in Europe, while we will now be able to follow major accounts internationally with an enriched offering,’ explains David Mahe for CFNews.
