International legal practice Osborne Clarke has advised Blacklane GmbH on the closing of a financing round, which is the largest investment in its history.

Daimler AG, through subsidiary Daimler Mobility Services GmbH, led the two-digit million euro financing round. Other investors are RI Digital Ventures, b-to-v and Alstin.

Blacklane, a Berlin-based start-up, provides a chauffeur portal connecting people to professional chauffeurs via their mobile app, website, and hotline. The investment will be used for expansion, product development and the extension of partnerships. With about 200 employees, the company is now active in over 50 countries. Blacklane also recently raised a mid-seven figure funding in a separate financing round.

The Osborne Clarke team that advised on the investment was led by Christian Musfeldt (M&A corporate law).
