Mergers & Acquisitions
General description
Mergers and acquisitions have been Lawarton’s core specialization since the very beginning of our operations. We represent a portfolio of over 100 completed transactions, each valued between several million to several dozen million PLN. We support our clients at every stage of the transaction process, from structuring and negotiating the letter of intent or term sheet through conducting legal due diligence to signing the final investment or sale agreement. We provide advisory services for transactions involving the sale of entire companies or specific packages of shares or stocks carried out in the private equity and venture capital markets, including buyouts and capital-raising transactions (seed, expansion, growth capital). We serve businesses at every stage of development—from the seed or start-up phase to well-established and large companies.
