Company law, investments and acquisitions

We provide comprehensive services in relation to the above processes.  

We advise clients on both asset deals (which involve specific assets or the business) and share deals (which involve shares). In addition, we participate in intra-group restructuring processes. We support clients in complex, multi-faceted M&A transactions with external domestic and foreign investors. Our clients include both large corporations (domestic and foreign) and individual investors or entrepreneurs, as well as family businesses. In our work, we represent the investors as well as the target companies. 

First, we assist clients in choosing the optimal transaction model or restructuring method, then in taking preparatory steps (spin-off of a part of the business from the existing company, due diligence processes, proceedings before the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK)), and subsequently we carry out the transaction in question. We prepare all transaction documents, investment agreements and security documents, and also represent clients in negotiations with shareholders, sellers of shares and investors. 

M&A transactions require the knowledge and experience of not only corporate law but also other fields, depending on the type of transaction and its subject matter. M&A projects frequently involve the acquisition of part or all of a business and the transfer of employees (TUPE) as well as the necessity to secure financing or to transfer real estate. Wiewiórski Legal’s transactional team specialising in company law is supported by specialists from our other teams, in particular in the areas of employment law, business contracts, banking & finance, real estate, personal data and information security.
