Corporate Governance and M&A
Our focus is on supporting projects for public companies and companies planning to enter the public market
Acquisition of assets (fixed assets) without acquiring rights (equity interests) in a legal entity
Purchase and sale of shares (equity interests in the charter capital) of business companies
Cross-border transactions
Public company squeeze-out transactions, including those related to the delisting of such shares
Building transparent corporate governance, including support in due diligence and analysis at the IPO preparation stage
Support for the creation and operation of a joint venture
Mergers of public companies, implementation of voluntary and mandatory share buyout offers (public mergers, tender offers), transition to a "single" share
A comprehensive approach to transaction support
Excellent understanding of the economics of M&A transactions

We are not the only law firm in the market that can draft documentation in a legally sound manner. Our advantage is that we also have an excellent understanding of the economics of the transactions we work on, as well as the business drivers behind such transactions from our clients' perspective.

We focus on the aspects of a project that are truly important for the client's business.

We view M&A transactions in the context of public markets: we advise on building or optimizing the corporate governance needed to enter the public market, advise on the specifics of executing transactions for the purchase and sale of securities, support business purchase and sale transactions, and carry out squeeze-outs.
