Goltsblat BLP, the Russian practice of

international law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), has advised Gett, a global on-demand mobility

company, on its USD 100 m financing from Sberbank.

Gett

will use the Sberbank funding to expand its services rapidly. This funding

complements Gett’s recent USD 300 m strategic investment from

Volkswagen, bringing total funds raised by Gett to USD 640 m.

This cross-border deal is another

example of the seamless international service offered by Goltsblat BLP / BLP

via its London and Moscow offices and in collaboration with local law firms in

the US, Cyprus and Israel.

Russian Banking & Finance

Partner Oleg Khokhlov led the Moscow team on the Russian aspects,

assisted by Associates Igor Zhivotov and Artemiy Bondarev. The

BLP London team consisted of partners Daisy Reeves, Nicholas Myatt and Tamara

Quinn, each with support from Associates Laura Dennis-Coyne and Natalie

Graham.

Number one in Europe, Gett

is available in more than 100 cities worldwide, including New York, Moscow, Tel

Aviv and London. In London alone, more than half of all black cabs are

running on Gett.
