PRACTICE AREAS

SERVICES

Mergers and Acquisitions, Venture Capital, Private Equity

We support domestic and international clients across the full spectrum of corporate transactions — from early-stage equity investments to complex cross-border mergers, private equity deals, and founder exits. Our work is grounded in precision, commercial insight, and execution under pressure.

Strategic, End-to-End Legal Support

Our M&A and investment practice combines legal depth with transactional clarity. We advise founders, venture capital firms, private equity investors, and corporate acquirers on transactions where structure, enforceability, and timing are critical.

 

We’re involved throughout the deal lifecycle — from legal structuring and due diligence to drafting, negotiation, and closing. We also assist with post-transaction reorganization, governance, and clean-up.

 

Our experience spans a wide range of industries, including real estate, financial services, technology, manufacturing, and consumer sectors. We understand both sides of the table — investor and founder, buyer and seller — and structure transactions accordingly.

 

Our documents are legally sound, investor-ready, and structured to withstand scrutiny. Whether you're raising capital, acquiring a business, or exiting an investment, we provide the legal clarity and negotiation firepower to move forward with confidence.

Mergers and Acquisitions

We represent buyers, sellers, private equity firms, management teams, and investors in share deals, asset acquisitions, mergers, spin-offs, and joint ventures — including cross-border and multi-jurisdictional transactions.

 

Our services include:

  • Pre-transaction planning and legal structuring of share or asset deals

  • Legal due diligence covering corporate, contractual, employment, tax, regulatory, IP, and real estate risks

  • Drafting and negotiating share purchase agreements (SPAs), asset transfer agreements, escrow agreements, and side letters

  • Assisting with pre-closing and post-closing reorganization, corporate restructuring, and management transition

 

We regularly handle complex, high-value transactions and have deep experience in regulated sectors, founder exits, distressed situations, and group-level reorganizations. We work in close coordination with financial advisors, in-house counsel, auditors, and tax professionals to ensure legal structures support operational and commercial goals.

Venture Capital and Private Equity

Our VC and PE practice is built to support both early-stage companies and professional investors throughout the investment cycle — from term sheet to exit.

We advise institutional investors, VC/PE funds, founders, and growth-stage companies on structuring, documenting, and negotiating investment rounds and related governance frameworks.

We assist with:

  • Seed and growth-stage investments, convertible loan agreements, structured equity financings, and founder-investor term sheets

  • Drafting investment agreements, shareholders’ agreements, equity schedules, and side letters

  • Governance structuring: reserved matters, board composition, veto rights, and minority protections

  • Investor rights and protections: liquidation preference clauses, anti-dilution mechanisms, tag-along and drag-along provisions

  • Exit planning: share transfers, secondary transactions, planned liquidity events, and put/call arrangements

 

We provide ongoing legal support to portfolio companies throughout their growth, including internal governance, commercial contracting, and follow-on investment rounds. We also assist investors with exit strategies — whether through third-party sales, founder buybacks, or staged secondary transactions.

We understand the dynamics of the CEE venture ecosystem, including founder-investor alignment, local regulatory constraints, tax structuring, and market-specific risks. Our transaction documents reflect the legal and commercial realities of the region while aligning with international expectations.

Why Clients Work With Us

  • Execution-oriented mindset. We get deals done under pressure — without compromising legal quality.

  • Real commercial alignment. Our advice focuses on enforceability, control, and exit — not just technical correctness.

  • Cross-border capability. We handle international transactions, coordinate with foreign counsel, and draft dual-language documentation.

  • Experience with scale. We've played a key role in deals collectively exceeding several hundred million euros in value — including regulated, high-stakes, and time-sensitive matters.
