Herbert Smith Freehills advised International Data Corporation (IDC) on its acquisition of ETBS, an Australian-based IT benchmarking and assessment firm that provides extensive price, service, and cost data across over 45 countries.

The acquisition of ETBS by IDC extends a well-known benchmark methodology to its already created and growing IT metrics product portfolio.
Joseph Fisher Tokyo Partner stated, "We were delighted to be able to assist IDC on this strategically important transaction. This is just the latest example of the Herbert Smith Freehills network's ability to provide seamless global support to multinational clients on complex cross-border deals, especially in the technology and data sectors."
The team is co headed by Joseph, who advised IDC from Tokyo with Stephen McCann, assisted by Ryu Long and with guidance Damien Roberts and Tatsuaki Tomiyama in Sydney.
