M&A and Corporate Law

Close

In transactions, the fundamental prerequisite is to think in business terms – to understand the client’s commercial interests, structure the transaction accordingly and negotiate the transaction documentation in line with those objectives.”"

Matej Blahut

An M&A lawyer must have strong communication and negotiation skills, combined with hard work, patience and a positive approach. Transactions do not follow office hours, and things rarely proceed as easily or as quickly as initially expected."

BBH‘s unique experience and outstanding reputation in M&A are confirmed by our involvement in some of the largest and most complex transactions in Central and Eastern Europe over the past three decades. Our experienced team, which consistently holds a leading position in M&A in the Czech Republic and the CEE region, combines deep technical expertise, flexibility and a strong client-focused approach. As a result, we are a trusted partner in executing strategic and high-value transactions.

We provide not only top-tier legal advice, but also full transaction management with a focus on efficiency, legal certainty and the achievement of business objectives. Each year, our firm is involved in dozens of M&A transactions and ranks among the most active advisers on the market in terms of both volume and complexity.

Clients repeatedly value not only the quality of our legal services, but also our creativity in designing and structuring transactions tailored to their specific needs, as well as our effective support in negotiations and transaction management. We have also acted as legal advisers in numerous M&A transactions requiring specific technical and regulatory expertise.

Sector Focus

BBH is a leader in M&A involving financial and regulated institutions, including banking, insurance, payment services and fintech. A significant part of our practice also includes transactions in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, where we combine M&A expertise with in-depth knowledge of sector-specific regulation.

We also hold a strong position in energy and infrastructure, including complex acquisition and divestment projects, as well as real estate M&A transactions involving large property portfolios, hotel projects and commercial assets.

Our practice naturally extends to the technology, IT and digital sectors, where we assist clients in structuring transactions in a fast-evolving and innovation-driven environment.

Comprehensive M&A Advisory

We guide clients through all of the stages of a transaction – from the initial strategic concept to post-closing advisory. Our M&A services include in particular:

  • Transaction design and structuring (share deals, asset deals, joint ventures, corporate transformations),
  • legal due diligence and specialised corporate reviews,
  • negotiation and preparation of transaction documentation,
  • regulatory, competition and sector-specific advisory,
  • coordination of cross-border projects and foreign advisers, and
  • post-closing advisory (integration, restructuring, exits).

Innovation, Regulation and Strategic Advisory

A key added value of BBH lies in our ability to combine M&A advisory with deep expertise in regulation, competition law, financing and corporate law. This enables us to design innovative transaction structures and effectively address complex legal issues in regulated and technologically advanced industries.

Clients turn to us not only for transaction execution, but also for strategic decision-making, market entry, business consolidation and group restructuring.
