Robert Kaukal of Raiffeisen Bank International
Robert Kaukal is Head of Legal Services Corporate/M&A at Raiffeisen Bank International, a position he has held since 2003. He has been with the company since 1989, building up impressive expertise dealing with complex corporate matters and regulatory issues throughout the years, also addressing compliance queries.
Kaukal has handled challenging transactions in recent times, confirming his status as a highly-influential corporate counsel, such as the award-winning merger of Raiffeisen Bank International with its unlisted parent Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich, which was a major corporate reorganisation within the Austrian banking sector, valued at over EUR4 billion. Additionally, and as part of this reorganisation, in October 2018 the sale of the core banking operations of Raiffesisen Bank International’s subsidiary Raiffeisen Bank Polska to BNP Paribas was closed, following regulatory approvals, for approximately EUR760 million.
