About

Provided by Dentons

The Dentons’ Corporate and M&A 160+ member team in CEE is distinguished by its position as one of the very few firms doing sophisticated transactional work across the region while being at the same time truly ‘in and of the community’, culturally knowledgeable and pan-European, backed by decades of experience in being on the ground supporting the business ambitions of local and international businesses.

Our team handles complex local and multijurisdictional transactions where the interaction and cooperation of our different offices and geographies is a key benefit, and we are highly regarded for our bespoke legal solutions.

Our industry sector strength means we are sought out on major corporate/M&A matters involving key business streams such as technology, energy, financial institutions, health care and pharma. The ability to provide a cross-practice team with true sector specialists in each area sets our team apart from almost all of our competitors in the region.

Our CEE offices include English, US, German, Canada, China, Japan, Iran and French desks and cover jurisdictions whose laws frequently apply to cross-border transactions within CEE. We are the only law firm in CEE with senior US and English qualified partners, giving us an advantage in advising on the increasing number of large technology transactions in the region.
