GÖRG advised the “Ufenau VIII Asset Light, SLP” fund – exclusively advised by Ufenau Capital Partners – on the legal aspects relating to the acquisition of a majority stake in Eco Kart GmbH.
Since its foundation in 2019, Eco Kart GmbH has been active in the indoor leisure and family entertainment sector. In the Rhine-Main region, the company offers private and corporate customers a diverse range of leisure activities, including e-karting, bowling, billiards, darts and arcade games. With established venues and standardised operational structures, Eco Kart is well-positioned for further growth.
Ufenau will support Eco Kart, alongside the existing management team, in the further development and expansion of its market position. Plans include the opening of new venues, the expansion of its range of leisure activities, and targeted acquisitions. In the long term, the aim is to build a European leisure and entertainment platform on this basis.
The GÖRG team, led by Frankfurt-based partners Dr Tobias Fenck and Markus Beyer, provided interdisciplinary advice on all key legal issues relevant to the transaction.
The Swiss investment group Ufenau has regularly relied on the expertise of Dr Tobias Fenck and his team for many years on transactions in the German market.
