Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers & Acquisitions
Very often foreign investors have the intention to enter the Polish market due to mergers and acquisitions problems, however, they do not want to start the business from the beginning. This situation may be caused by the need to enter a market rapidly to outperform the competition or by the pressure of the industry peers already present in Poland.
Sometimes the reason might be the specificity of the industry that requires the immediate need of experienced people (HR-driven takeover). In those cases, we advise our clients to ease their way into the Polish market through mergers and acquisitions. We support all the phases of a transaction: before, during and after.
