HAVEL & PARTNERS provided comprehensive legal assistance to IF Invest EAST in connection with the acquisition of 100% shares in Ostrava Airport Multimodal Park, which is currently completing the construction of a combined transport terminal at Ostrava Mošnov.

The legal services were delivered on behalf of HAVEL & PARTNERS by Petr Dohnal (partner) and Josef Bouchal (associate), who advised the client on M&A matters and coordinated the entire transaction. The firm’s other professionals, Štěpán Černý (managing associate) and Jakub Jireš (legal expert), were responsible for negotiating the bank financing, while Adam Karban (senior associate) and Patrik Chrást (junior associate) handled the real estate-related advice.

The new combined transport terminal will significantly contribute to the shift of freight transport from road to rail. In addition, in conjunction with the storage and production capacity in the Mošnov industrial zone, it will make logistics processes more efficient, reduce environmental impact and enable further development of activities in the Moravian-Silesian region. The construction project was completed at a time when e-commerce and the global importance of the interconnection of logistics and industrial parks are growing.

“The multimodal transport project on a former military brownfield is being implemented after twelve years of negotiations and preparations. I expect the newly built terminal combining rail, road and air transport to be an important artery of our region’s economy, and at the same time it will contribute significantly to the use and subsequent development of the Ostrava airport,” said Tomáš Macura, Mayor of Ostrava.
