Sidley advised Pepper Advantage, a leading international credit management and technology firm backed by J.C. Flowers & Co., on its acquisition of Computershare’s UK mortgage servicing business, Computershare Loan Services, subject to regulatory approval.
This strategic acquisition will increase Pepper Advantage’s UK assets under management to approximately £50 billion. By integrating Computershare’s mortgage servicing operations — which include Topaz Finance and Zephyr — Pepper Advantage will significantly expand its UK footprint and strengthen its credit management capabilities across its London and Uxbridge hubs.
