Several professional teams of the largest Czech and Slovak law firm HAVEL & PARTNERS headed by Václav Audes, the firm’s partner, provided comprehensive legal advice to Genesis Capital Growth on the acquisition of a 100 per cent stake in Home Care Promedica, a provider of home healthcare and social services in the Czech Republic.

Established in 2009, Home Care Promedica (HCP) is a provider of professional home healthcare, encompassing standard procedures as well as highly specialised medical interventions (such as parenteral nutrition and peritoneal dialysis) in the clients’ own social environment. HCP provides its services mainly in Prague and its vicinity via a dedicated team of nurses having many years of practice. HCP’s new owner, Genesis Capital Growth, is a development capital fund specialising in investments in fast-growing SMEs in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and neighbouring countries. The parties decided not to disclose the value of the transaction.

Besides Václav Audes, M&A advice on the acquisition of Home Care Promedica was provided by senior associate Veronika Filipová. The banking and financial aspects of the transaction were dealt with by the firm’s partner Filip Čabart together with senior associate Štepán Černý. The life sciences team working on the transaction was comprised of senior associate Lenka Teska Arnoštová and attorney-at-law Kateřina Slavíková. The application of the firm’s extensive know-how in M&A and health law ensured the smooth and efficient closing of the complex transaction.
