Further support was provided by IP, IT and commercial managing associate Edmund Forey, data protection senior associate Nora Pook, employment associate Luke Shaw, and pensions partner Alison Hills.
Dr Adrien Amigues, founder and CEO of OXLiD, said: “By joining Gelion, we will be capable of developing and commercialising Li-S battery technology for the mass markets at a faster rate than previously possible. We are very excited about joining Gelion and I’d like to thank Will Axtell and the wider team at Penningtons Manches Cooper for their expertise and for their unwavering support in helping bring this transaction to a successful conclusion.”
