CMS was named M&A Legal Adviser of the Year in Central & Eastern Europe and Germany at the Mergermarket European M&A Awards, held in London on 6 December 2018.
The prizes are awarded for creative advisory work on complex transactions. The judging process, which starts with an analysis of M&A league table data to identify the top-ranked firms, is rigorous.
The jury particularly recognised CMS’s leading sector expertise in Central & Eastern Europe in key industries including lifesciences & healthcare and TMT, and the firm’s role in headline transactions in these sectors in 2018; the acquisition of Zentiva by Advent International and the sale of the Central European UPC cable assets by Liberty Global.
Stefan Brunnschweiler, Head of the CMS Corporate/M&A Group said, “At CMS, we are experienced in multi-jurisdictional deals and working in cross-border teams. At the same time, we have deep local expertise in many jurisdictions that allows us to understand our clients’ specific issues for a transaction and provide them with advice within context. So, we are honoured to receive this recognition for our M&A work in Central & Eastern Europe and Germany. Congratulations to our teams for winning the award for M&A Legal Adviser of the Year.“
