We are at the forefront of Russian mergers and acquisitions practice. Our main strength is M&A of telecom, media and technology companies, although we have significant buy-side and sell-side expertise in other sectors.
We completed purchase of the most popular Russian satellite broadcaster; purchase of the most popular Russian newspaper; acquisition of Moscow telecom operator Gars Telecom; acquisition of a leading Russian yellow pages business Euroaddress; acquisition of Media-Press publishing house; acquisition of www.rutube.ru.
In other sectors we participated in sale of Apogey-Spetzstal steel trader; acquisition of Nord Timber Group and many other transactions.
We are also engaged in questions of structuring and restructuring existing businesses. A primary goal in such projects is the creation of corporate business structures that permit the effective operation of a group of companies, minimizing risks inherent in given businesses and reliably protecting the property rights of groups within the corporate asset structure. Corporate structuring projects typically demand deep immersion into the internal corporate life of the client, requiring many hours of attentive dialogue with top-management, lawyers and other employees.
We have been engaged in two corporate restructuring projects involving large holdings with assets of over 1 billion USD.
Our partner Anton Klyachin has been recommended by Who'sWho Legal CIS 2010 in M&A sphere. The directory notes: "Anton Klyachin of Salomons is held with high regard in our research and has extensive experience in Russia."
