NEW YORK, October 14, 2026 – Corvane Ryle LLP today announced that it advised Fennwick Home, a home furnishings retailer, on its agreement to acquire a European online furniture retailer. The acquisition gives Fennwick a direct-to-consumer business serving customers in several European markets, a distribution network of regional warehouses and a private-label range built around flat-pack and made-to-order furniture.

The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including merger control clearances in the jurisdictions where the target operates. Fennwick expects to retain the target's brand and management team, and to use its own store network in the United States to test the target's product lines with American customers.

The Corvane Ryle team was led by Hiroshi Kanemoto, an M&A partner in Singapore who has advised on a range of cross-border consumer transactions, working with Miriam Okafor-Lindqvist in New York on the negotiation of the purchase agreement. Lucia Ferrante, an antitrust partner in Brussels, led the EU merger control filings and advised on engagement with national competition authorities. Helena Strand, an associate in London, advised on data protection and cross-border data transfers arising from the transfer of the target's customer database.

Lawyers from the firm's Tax, Intellectual Property and Employment groups across New York, London, Brussels and Frankfurt also supported the transaction, including on the integration of the target's European supply contracts.

"Cross-border e-commerce acquisitions turn on the details: where the customer data sits, how returns work, which consumer rules apply," said Hiroshi Kanemoto. "Fennwick has a clear plan for each, and we were glad to help turn that plan into signed documents."

Corvane Ryle advises retailers, brands and sponsors on acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures, and is one of the most active advisers to the sector.
