CMS advises Oaktree on its joint venture with Kadans

CMS has advised Oaktree Capital Management on its investment in Kadans, a property investor and developer. With the help of Oaktree's substantial network, experience and financial resources parties expect to substantially grow the Kadans science-park portfolio and roll it out across Europe.
