About
Provided by HKV Law Firm
The core of legal services and transaction advisory services is a traditional M&A agenda. We provide advice of the highest quality for projects of different nature such as mergers, acquisitions, privatisation projects, creation of joint-venture partnerships or division and splitting of companies.
Members of our M&A team have many years of experience with strategic transactions not only on the Slovak market, but also throughout Central Europe. As an independent office, we know how to approach transactions with special regard, which allows us to build long-term relationships with our clients.
The basis of our transaction and legal services is a combination of years of judgement, experience, understanding not only legal problems and issues, but also business and financial aspects of the transaction that our clients face in making strategic decisions. The speed and smoothness of the whole process is a matter of course.
Providing comprehensive transaction advice means designing a suitable transaction structure, preparing the necessary documentation and the ability to design and implement solutions to all key issues of M&A transactions in our understanding. The capabilities of our M&A team allow us to closely link the transaction part of the project itself with other related parts, such as financing of the entire transaction.
