Our practice » covers the entire spectrum of M&A transactions: we provide advisory services in capital injection, company acquisitions and exits.

We are aware of the business needs of venture capital and private equity investors and we are familiar with creating the legal framework for pre-emption rights, right of first exit, drag-along or tag-along rights.
