DMH Stallard advises CSMA on ‘transformative partnership’

DMH Stallard has advised CSMA as it invests in and accelerates the growth of Parliament Hill, the UK’s foremost provider of membership association benefits platforms.

This landmark collaboration with Gautam Sahgal, former CEO of Perkbox, marks a pivotal moment for Parliament Hill, with CSMA and Sahgal jointly committing to enhancing the platform’s technological capabilities, broadening its commercial offering, and reinforcing its position as the industry leader.

The team from DMH Stallard, led by Emma Boorman (Partner) and Jonathan Grant (Relationship Partner), provided legal advice to CSMA, ensuring that the partnership was structured to enable long-term success.

Colin Slinn, Chief Executive Officer of CSMA, said:

“It was hugely reassuring to have such a skilled and experienced team from DMH Stallard advising us on this highly significant transaction with Parliament Hill.

I am most grateful to Emma Boorman, Jonathan Grant and their colleagues for their expert and insightful counsel throughout the process.”

The appointment of Gautam Sahgal as Executive Chairman and Joel Tobias as CEO brings invaluable leadership and expertise to drive innovation and expand Parliament Hill’s impact across the membership sector.

Emma Boorman, Partner at DMH Stallard, said:

“We were delighted to have advised CSMA on this transformative partnership.

This investment marks an exciting new chapter for Parliament Hill, reinforcing its position as a leader in the membership association sector.

With the combined strengths of CSMA, Gautam, and Joel, Parliament Hill will no doubt thrive in delivering outstanding solutions to its clients.”
