Omega Training Group Inc. of Columbus, Ga. tapped Burr & Forman partner Tully Hazell in Atlanta for the lead corporate counsel gig on its $61 million all-cash acquisition by Cubic Corp. 
Burr partner Bill Joseph worked on tax issues and associate Kathryn Bouchillon worked with Hazell on corporate matters. Cubic General Counsel William L. Hoese handled legal matters on behalf of his company.
Omega provides training, logistics, software development and staffing services to the U.S. Army at Fort Benning, Ga. and other Army bases. Omega employs 790 people worldwide. The deal did not require Hart-Scott-Rodino Act review for antitrust concerns, nor did it require approval by the U.S. Department of Defense, Hazell said.
Cubic, of San Diego, has two business units. One is a maker of combat-simulation products, surveillance systems and robots for the military. The other makes smart cards, passenger gates and fare-collection machines for mass-transit subway and bus systems. Cubic makes the Breeze Card for Atlanta’s MARTA subway and bus network.
