Siemens Energy Acquires Northern Irish Camlin Group

Munich – Baker McKen­zie advi­sed Siemens Energy on the agree­ment to acquire the Camlin Group, a Nort­hern Ireland-based specia­list in grid moni­to­ring, data analy­sis, and plant digitalization.

The acqui­si­tion expands Siemens Energy’s digi­tal grid port­fo­lio against the back­drop of rising global invest­ment in power grids. Finan­cial details were not disc­lo­sed. The tran­sac­tion is subject to the usual regu­la­tory appr­ovals and is expec­ted to be comple­ted before the end of 2026. 

With the acqui­si­tion of the Camlin Group, Siemens Energy is expan­ding its capa­bi­li­ties and streng­thening its digi­tal profile in the areas of sensor-based moni­to­ring, data analy­sis, and soft­­ware-enab­­led grid intelligence.

Dr. Jakub Lorys, Corpo­rate Part­ner, commen­ted on the tran­sac­tion: “The energy tran­si­tion has long since ceased to be solely about gene­ra­tion; it is now very much about the intel­li­gence of the grids. With the acqui­si­tion of the Camlin Group, Siemens Energy is well-posi­­tio­­ned to navi­gate this trans­for­ma­tion, combi­ning sensor tech­no­logy, data analy­sis, and soft­ware to create the digi­tal back­bone of tomorrow’s power grids. We are proud to have advi­sed on a tran­sac­tion that lies precis­ely at the inter­sec­tion of indus­trial stra­tegy and tech­no­lo­gi­cal innovation.” 

Alex­an­der Gee, Corpo­rate Part­ner, who led the tran­sac­tion along­side Jakub Lorys, added: “The acqui­si­tion of a specia­li­zed tech­no­logy company with opera­ti­ons in multi­ple juris­dic­tions requi­res not only deep indus­try exper­tise but also seam­less coor­di­na­tion across various legal areas and natio­nal borders. Our team colla­bo­ra­ted across more than 25 offices to provide inte­gra­ted advice on M&A struc­tu­ring, regu­la­tory appr­ovals, and labor and tax law issues, enab­ling Siemens Energy to act decisi­vely and efficiently.” 

The cross-border, inter­di­sci­pli­nary Baker McKen­zie team was led by corpo­rate and M&A part­ners Dr. Jakub Lorys (Munich) and Alex­an­der Gee (London), with support from Niraj Visani (Senior Asso­ciate, London), Laura MacLach­lan (senior asso­ciate, London), Jack McCann (asso­ciate, London), Eli Clin­­ton-Davis (asso­ciate, London), and Niall Elliott (asso­ciate, London).

The Baker McKen­zie team consis­ted of more than 50 attor­neys specia­li­zing in employ­ment law, tax law, anti­trust and compe­ti­tion law, intellec­tual property, and commer­cial tech­no­logy from more than 25 offices within the firm’s global network.
