HAVEL & PARTNERS, the largest Czech-Slovak law firm, which has long been the top M&A law firm in the Czech Republic in terms of the number of completed transactions, and has ranked among the top law firms in the CEE Region, and ONE FAMILY OFFICE, a family office with an international reach, are further expanding their specialised M&A and corporate finance services. They are deepening their cooperation with advisors from the Czech company Nexia One Corporate Finance CZ, which is continuously building on the activities of VGD Corporate Finance under the new brand.
Nexia One Corporate Finance with a new name symbolising its affiliation to the wider ONE FAMILY OFFICE Group, with its experienced team comprising nine members, covers all areas of corporate and project finance advisory. As for the legal aspects of the transactions, it uses the background and experience of the specialised M&A team of 80 lawyers at HAVEL & PARTNERS.
“We are responding to the strong demand from a significant part of our clientele for integrated legal, tax, accounting and corporate finance advisory services in the broadest scope under one roof, with one managing partner. Of course, we will continue to cooperate with other corporate finance leaders in the Czech Republic and Slovakia according to our clients’ preferences,” Jaroslav Havel, managing partner of HAVEL & PARTNERS and ONE FAMILY OFFICE, explained.
Since 2003, the Nexia One Corporate Finance team has successfully completed over 170 business sales, mergers and acquisitions. Senior team members worked on transactions with a total volume of over EUR 7 billion. It is now joining forces with HAVEL & PARTNERS, which over the past 18 years has participated as legal advisor in the execution of 870 transactions, not only in the field of mergers, acquisitions, sales and restructurings, with a total value exceeding CZK 850 billion, and also with ONE FAMILY OFFICE, which covers all services in the field of asset management, protection and development.
“We perceive the collaboration with Nexia One Corporate Finance as a strategic step that will enable our partners to benefit from a combination of legal and financial advice at the highest level. The Nexia One Corporate Finance team has many years of experience and proven success in M&A. Together, we offer a comprehensive solution that covers not only the legal aspects of transactions, but also financial structuring, valuation and investor negotiations. This allows us to serve even the most demanding requests more effectively and further expand the search for business opportunities abroad for corporate clients as well as business partners of the ONE FAMILY OFFICE,” Jaroslav Havel, managing partner, commented.
Based on the number of transactions the team is involved in, Nexia One Corporate Finance CZ regularly ranks among the top M&A advisors on the Czech market. “We aim to go even further. Thanks to our experience and network of contacts, as well as our efficient processes, where we ensure a truly comprehensive process of mergers, acquisitions, company valuations and due diligence for clients and investors according to individual strategies, we plan to increase the number of successful transactions in a short time, aiming to become the market leader in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the CEE region,” said Michal Černý, a partner at Nexia One Corporate Finance, who has 14 years of experience in project and structured financing.
