Foley Advises Snap One in Acquisition of Clare Controls

Foley & Lardner LLP represented Snap One, a provider of smart living products, services, and software to professional integrators, in its acquisition of Clare Controls, maker of the ClareOne smart home and security system, building upon the success of its existing distribution agreement with Clare Controls.

Since Snap One entered an exclusive distribution partnership with Clare Controls in 2019, the ClareOne system has become a go-to for Snap One partners, providing a hybrid smart home and security solution for entry- to mid-level applications.

ClareOne is the centerpiece of the Clare Controls platform and provides many common features, including a broad integration portfolio and rich configuration options. ClareOne delivers these capabilities in a cost-efficient solution, allowing partners to easily differentiate their offerings from DIY solutions.

Snap One is a provider of products and support to its professional integrator-customers that enable them to deliver technology solutions to their residential and small business end-users. The company’s capabilities are designing, installing, servicing, and fully integrating connected home and business systems for homeowners and commercial customers.

The Foley team was led by Partners Chris Rasmussen and David Mortensen, with significant contributions from Senior Counsels Garrett Bishop and Sarah Null, and Associates Kaitlyn Foley and Erin Killeen.
