Gleiss Lutz has advised the Klett Group on the acquisition of a majority interest in the Berlin-based start-up Careloop.
Careloop has developed the first fully digital process to support the recruitment, qualification and integration of international nursing staff in Germany. Since its foundation in 2019, the start-up has already placed and successfully integrated several hundred nurses from more than 30 countries in the German healthcare system.
Alongside their efforts to combat the nursing shortage, the Klett Group and Careloop are planning to expand their activities to other shortage occupations.
With an international presence in 24 countries, the Klett Group is one of Europe’s leading enterprises dedicated to education. The portfolio includes both traditional and state-of-the-art educational media for day-to-day use in schools, as well as lesson planning materials, specialist literature and the classics. In addition, the Klett Group operates many educational institutions, ranging from day-care centres and schools to attendance-based and distance-learning universities.
The following Gleiss Lutz team has advised the Klett Group on the transaction: Dr. Martin Viciano Gofferje (partner, Berlin), Dr. Julia Müller (both lead, Frankfurt), Dr. Christoph Meissner (Berlin), Dr. Ken Laws (all M&A), Dr. Ocka Stumm (partner), Kilian Mossel (both Tax, all Frankfurt), Dr. Johannes Hertfelder (partner, Competition/Antitrust, Stuttgart).
