Weinhold Legal advised Chropyňská Group a.s., a Czech industrial group focused on engineering, manufacturing and technological solutions, on its acquisition of the Slovak company DefTech a.s., a manufacturer of military armoured vehicles.
DefTech a.s. has long specialised in the development and production of armoured vehicles primarily intended for armed forces and the security sector. The acquisition represents a strategic step for Chropyňská Group aimed at further expanding its activities in the defence industry within the Central European region.
“This transaction was specific not only due to its international dimension but also because of the highly regulated nature of the defence industry. We are pleased to have been able to provide legal support to our client in the implementation of this strategically important acquisition,” said Martin Lukáš, Partner at Weinhold Legal.
The legal advice primarily included M&A assistance with transaction structuring, legal due diligence, preparation and negotiation of the transaction documentation, and related corporate matters.
The Weinhold Legal team involved in the transaction consisted of Martin Lukáš, Tomáš Čermák, Karin Konečná and Anna Králíková.
