Slaughter and May is advising GE on the intellectual property, know-how and information technology aspects of the potential sale of GE’s Equipment Finance and Receivables Finance businesses in France and Germany to Banque Fédérative du Crédit Mutuel. We are working with Bredin Prat and Hengeler Mueller who advise on certain French and German IP and technology aspects of the transaction.

The proposed transaction will be submitted to the relevant works councils for their information and consultation. The completion of the transaction would also be subject to customary regulatory and antitrust approvals.
