International law firm Dentons has advised Slate Asset Management, a global alternative investment platform, on the acquisition of a majority stake in amperio GmbH, the Germany-based electric vehicle charging planner and developer.

Meanwhile, Slate's portfolio of over 225 grocery properties across Germany and deep network of relationships with tenants, focused on environmental sustainability, will create opportunities to accelerate amperio's growth.
Slate actively invests in sustainable assets and technologies that advance the global energy transition and enable cities and communities to reach their carbon emission reduction goals.
