WOOD & Co has incomparable experience with complex M&A deals for Czech as well as international, and both strategic and financial investors. WOOD & Co is highly valued for its professional services and excellent local and international contacts. The company regularly advises on complex transactions involving transaction financing, negotiations with regulators and state authorities.
WOOD & Co has been involved in almost all major Czech and Slovak privatizations including the recent successful privatization of Český Telecom where WOOD & Co successfully advised Telefonica on the acquisition of a 51% stake in Český Telecom including the subsequent mandatory buyout.
The major advantage of WOOD & Co is its local knowledge in combination with international contacts. WOOD & Company has successfully advised local governments as well as large international investors and corporations on large scale privatization assignments. Our recent and the most successful engagements include advising Modern Times Group (MTG), Mittal Steel, Telefonica, EdF, RWE and the governments of Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Equally importantly, WOOD & Co is building longstanding relationships with successful local entrepreneurs, business leaders and private financial institutions. WOOD & Co is in regular contact with local business owners and advises them on their business strategies, business development and restructuring, fund raising as well as their exit strategies. Successful execution of their exit strategies is only a natural continuation of usually longstanding relationships.
