- ‘Their quality of service in Corporate and M&A is second to none. Additionally, the team responds to time-sensitive matters with diligence and promptness, combining a thorough understanding of our business with a strong grasp of the legal environment. Their Corporate and M&A lawyers assisted us with the final completion of the acquisition of AKTA Telecom, one of the largest and oldest telecom operators in Romania. It was a complex transaction, spread over several years. In 2025 we purchased 100% of the shares. The advice covered all aspects, including the share purchase documentation and so on. We valued their in-depth understanding of the TMT industry in addition to their undeniable proficiency in corporate and transactional work. This firm’s services in Corporate and M&A are of the highest calibre!
