Poland > Commercial, corporate and M&A

The corporate and M&A department at CMS is notably strong in public M&A transactions, and clients often turn to the group for assistance with mandates in the energy, chemical, consumer products, TMC, manufacturing, logistics, and banking spaces. Of particular note is its advice to investment and capital venture funds on their transactions. Rafał Zwierz – who is qualified in Poland, the US, and the UK – leads the team. Other key names within the practice include Sławomir Czerwiński and counsel Olga Czyżycka-Szczygieł; the former has experience in assisting private equity houses and corporates with investments, exits, joint ventures, and mergers, and the latter has expertise in corporate issues, including restructurings and reorganisations. March 2024 saw two new arrivals join the team from Deloitte Legal, Ostrowski, Gizicki i Wspólnicy sp.k., namely Ryszard Manteuffel and counsel Robert Semczuk.
