Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Our task was processed by a team of experienced experts in all aspects of the transaction, including taxes, company evaluation, IPR, financial aspects, etc. They have an excellent overview of the market situation and know how to conduct a complex negotiation process. The team was ready to explain any step as well as any aspect of the transaction. Real professionals fully focused on customer needs.
- All the team members headed by Mr. Igor Mesensky did a great job. They were fully dedicated to the task, communicating on Saturdays and Sundays if there was a need. Their experience was outstanding - they were able to predict many situations and avoid a lot of misunderstandings. All the team members were fully dedicated to the task at hand and I do appreciate their capability to work as a team, with an excellent atmosphere inside. Besides Mr. Mesensky, I have to stress the tremendous work carried out by Petr Slaby, Jan Prochazka, Jakub Kolda, and Adam Friedl.
- ‘I consider KPMG Legal's strengths to be its strong legal expertise, business acumen, and tremendous humanity and empathy towards clients.’
- ‘The team has paid close attention to our transaction, which I was surprised about due to my initial reluctance to utilise services from a larger corporate legal firm rather than something more local. They are collaborative and communicative.'
- ‘The most important members of the team were Jan Procházka and Jakub Kolda. Both gentlemen were extremely collaborative, providing very valuable advice based on their significant experience in the area of M&A.'
- ‘I worked with Pavlína Rampová. What I appreciated most about working with her was the absolute precision, clarity, empathy, perspective, and humanity.’
