This training is based on our experts’ related international experience and multidisciplinary knowledge. During the training, we will present several areas, which are equally relevant in the whole CEE region (e.g. use of English law) while we will also outline some local, country-specific particularities within the M&A market.

Course participants will gain an insight into the legal structuring of transactions and obtain guidance on the typical practical issues in civil law, company law, labour law, and competition law. After the course, participants will understand the major risks, and the high-level impact of acquisitions, group restructurings from an accounting point of view (e.g. profitability, consolidated financial statements, KPIs etc.). The course will also include a high-level overview of the taxation-related challenges of M&A transactions.

This training course is recommended for business owners and decision-makers who are planning a sale or an acquisition transaction, as well as for experts who work in the finance, tax and legal fields, especially for players in the investment, banking and capital markets sectors.
