Law firm Stephenson Harwood has advised the Civica Group, a private equity backed business, on its acquisition of Momentum Healthware, a healthcare technology specialist in Canada.

Momentum Healthware, which will become Civica Canada, has a range of innovative software, which includes assessment management, digital health record provision and real-time location tracking. This transaction is part of Civica’s strategy to increase its presence in North America and complements the Group's growing software offering for health and care organisations.

The Stephenson Harwood team was led by private equity partner Malcolm MacDougall, who was supported by associate Dafni Loizou.
