Dentons advises SchoolHire on its sale to ParentPay Group

London-Dentons has advised the shareholders of School Hire Lettings Limited ("SchoolHire") on its sale to ParentPay Group, a leading provider of software and payment solutions for schools.

SchoolHire provides a specialist online booking and payment platform that enables schools and other educational organisations to efficiently manage the hire of facilities such as sports halls, astro-pitches, swimming pools, and meeting spaces, helping schools maximise the utilisation of their assets while simplifying administration and improving the customer experience. The acquisition extends ParentPay Group's existing ecosystem of education-focused software and payment solutions.

Charlie Gothold, co-founder and Director of SchoolHire, said: "We are proud of what we have built with SchoolHire and the value it delivers to schools and communities. Joining ParentPay Group marks an exciting new chapter, providing the scale and complementary capabilities to accelerate our growth. We are grateful to Dentons for their clear, pragmatic advice and support throughout the transaction."

Matthew Tinger, UK Corporate partner at Dentons, commented: "We are delighted to have supported SchoolHire on this transaction. The acquisition by ParentPay Group represents a strong strategic fit and positions the business well for its next phase of growth."

The Dentons team advising SchoolHire was led by Corporate partners Matthew Tinger and Joseph Collingwood, with Corporate senior associate Chris Northway, and specialist advice from Tax partner Lorna McCaa, PRM senior associate Victoria Albon, and TMT partner Sarah Lima.
