Lawyer Monthly - July 2023 Edition

has been on the market now as a boutique firm for nearly 20 years and I believe we have a particularly strong track record for international corporate and transactional matters. To name a few, our clients include the premium sporting goods producer HEAD, SIMMO AG, the Canadian Canopy Growth, the Luxembourg APS Group, the Emeren Group (before: Renesola) the Swiss Health & Nutrition AG and the petrochemistry champion Borealis., We advised all of them in corporate finance and/or M&A projects in the past and ongoing. We are also quite strong in the startup sector assisting FL3XX and the large Austrian automotive consulting firm EFS Consulting on convertible loans and private equity or M&A transactions. We work in very lean teams, which means that I know of every step that is taken in a transaction, which our clients prefer since there is no need for alignment – as is the case with larger teams working on a transaction. With my nearly 30 years of international transaction experience, I certainly know what it needs to get a deal done and dusted. Can you tell us more about your involvement in this acquisition? I have known Stefan Münch from Bird & Bird in Munich for quite a while, but we never had the opportunity to work together on a larger M&A transaction so far. Efeso has been a client of Bird & Bird France’s partner Bertrand Levy, who introduced the German Bird & Bird Corporate Practice to Efeso. Since Tsetinis Consulting is a company incorporated in Austria with a German and a US subsidiary, an Austrian counsel was required for the transaction, and so we teamed up to successfully run this together. What specialised skills and experience did you and your colleagues draw upon as part of your work? I am an M&A, private equity and corporate finance lawyer, originally trained for years in one of the largest leading Austrian corporate law firms. Graf Patsch Taucher Lawyer Monthly had the pleasure to speak with Bernd Taucher at Graf Patsch Taucher Rechtsanwälte GmbH to give us some further insight into this transaction: Graf Patsch Taucher has been on the market now as a boutique firm for nearly 20 years and I believe we have a particularly strong track record for international corporate and transactional matters.
