CMS advises Renaissance Investment Foundation on the acquisition of Arlewo Group

With approximately 180 employees, the Arlewo Group is a leading real estate service provider in Central Switzerland. The company manages approximately 15,500 apartments and over 400,000 m² of commercial space and holds a strong market position in the areas of property management, sales, valuation, construction management, and project development.

As part of a long-term succession plan, Renaissance Investment Foundation and the existing management team have jointly taken over the Arlewo Group. The previous owners will continue to support the company during a transition phase.

The Renaissance Investment Foundation, with offices in Zurich and Lausanne, has been supporting Swiss SMEs with succession and growth solutions for over 25 years. The invested capital comes exclusively from Swiss pension funds and enables a long-term, sustainable investment approach.

A CMS team led by Alain Raemy (Partner, Corporate/M&A) and Anna Mast (Senior Associate, Corporate/M&A) advised Renaissance Investment Foundation on all legal aspects of this transaction. The team also included Mark Cagienard (Partner, Tax), Dirk Spacek (Partner, Data Protection/IP/IT), Miryam Meile (Senior Associate, Employment), Samuel Gang (Senior Associate, Corporate/M&A), Helena Loretan (Senior Associate, Real Estate), and Michelle Lindenmann (Associate, Real Estate).
