Charles Russell Speechlys has advised the Paperhat Group, a leading onsite creative services and digital production group, on its recent merger of its print management business within Paperhat Communications with production specialist Nirvana CPH.

By welcoming Nirvana CPH into the fold, Paperhat Group has expanded its marketing proposition globally. Its services include onsite creative production services, spend management, digital production and ecommerce and ROMI auditing through-the-line creative services.  Nirvana CPH has an extensive client list, including Burberry and Stella McCartney, which complements the carefully selected group of companies within Paperhat.

In addition to the merger with Nirvana CPH, we have advised the Paperhat Group on its recent acquisitions of majority interests in CTI Digital (the Manchester-based digital agency and Drupal and Magento specialist), Despark (a boutique Bulgarian digital specialist) and Grebot Donnelly Associates (a leading communications specialist for the education sector).
