The corporate and M&A department at Gide Loyrette Nouel is overseen by Dariusz Tokarczuk and offers clients a multi-disciplinary approach, benefiting from the ability to call upon other practitioners from the firm’s banking and finance, private equity, and venture capital teams, which are led by Paweł Grześkowiak. Key areas of interest for the practice include the creation and liquidation of companies, reorganisations, registration proceedings, and day-to-day advisory work. Marta Karmińska and Dawid Van Kędzierski were promoted to of counsel and counsel, respectively, in April 2023.

Testimonials

  • 'GIDE’s M&A team is a set of dedicated professionals who supported our organisation throughout a complex divestment process. The quality of services rendered exceeded our expectations.'
  • 'Two things that make GIDE’s team unique are responsiveness and the ability to simplify the most twisted and complicated issues.'
  • 'From the very beginning of the process we were supported by Wojciech Czyżewski. He has all that can be expected from the top-quality legal professional. Not only did he provide us with state-of-the-art legal services, but he coordinated the work of his colleagues and managed to keep things as simple and apprehensible as possible.'
