Cinven Acquires Majority Shareholding in UAX

Cuatrecasas has advised Jesús Núñez, founder of Alfonso X el Sabio University (UAX), and his group of founding partners on the agreement to sell together with CVC Capital Partners a majority stake in UAX to Cinven, an international private equity firm.

The transaction stands out not only for its relevance in the education sector, but also as one of the largest private equity transactions in Spain in 2025. Its strategic approach also fosters significant development opportunities for UAX and its investment partners.

Cuatrecasas has worked extensively to ensure the success of this complex transaction, assisting its clients in reinvesting alongside Cinven. The work is a clear demonstration of the firm's ability to advise on large-scale transactions with a high level of legal sophistication.
