Managing IP’s parent company, LBG, will acquire The Lawyer, a leading news, intelligence, and data-driven insight provider for the legal industry, from Centaur Media

Legal Benchmarking Group, a portfolio company of Triple Private Equity, announced today an agreement to acquire The Lawyer, a leading news, intelligence and data-driven insight provider for the legal industry, from Centaur Media.

The Lawyer covers the latest news, expert commentary, data-rich analysis and strategic insight across the legal sector, supporting strategic decision-making within law firms and other providers.

LBG provides practice-area research and rankings insights and awards for global law, tax, and advisory firms, through a group of market-leading brands including Managing IP, as well as IFLR, International Tax Review and Benchmark Litigation.

The addition of The Lawyer expands LBG’s coverage of specialist practice areas, adding law firm leadership, operations, and business strategy coverage to its offering, and creates a leading intelligence provider for the global legal market.

This is the first acquisition by LBG since it was acquired by Triple Private Equity in June 2025.

Tom St Denis, CEO at Legal Benchmarking Group, said: “We are really excited to have The Lawyer join LBG. Their products and capabilities are complementary to what we do at a practice area level, and will enhance how we serve global law firms with differentiated, mission-critical, business of law insight.”

Sarah Sanderson, Managing Director at The Lawyer, said: “We are delighted to be joining LBG. It’s a natural fit for us and we feel it is the right environment for us to further grow and develop The Lawyer’s offering and add additional value to our clients.”

Ben Shepherd, Head of Value Creation and Founding Partner at Triple Private Equity, added: “The combination of The Lawyer and LBG brings together two high-quality teams and businesses, and we look forward to continuing to support the team with their ambitions across their global customer base.”

The deal is expected to close in October 2025.
