Cresco advises on the acquisition of Waylay by Verity

We are proud to have acted as lead counsel to Waylay and its shareholders in its strategic acquisition by Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure for applications in data centers, communication networks and commercial and industrial environments.

Waylay, a Belgium-based leader in generative AI software platforms, provides a low-code hyperautomation software platform that enables workflow-based automation, system integration, and orchestration across a wide range of connected assets, enterprise applications and cloud services.

This acquisition allows Vertiv to strengthen Vertiv’s portfolio of digital infrastructure solutions with AI-based infrastructure monitoring, predictive services and performance optimalization.

Cresco has been Waylay’s trusted strategic legal advisor for several years, acting a.o. on the corporate venture capital investment by Yokogawa Electric Corporation, a Japanese publicly listed company.

Congratulations to Leonard Donnelly, Veselin Pizurica, AAAF, imec, PMV, Yokogawa Electric Corporation, and the other shareholders, as well as to Vertiv on the successful closing of this transaction.

Cresco’s deal team consisted of David Dessers, Nils Coolsaet, Ward Verwaeren, Tim W. and Bas Stobbelaar.
