CRIDO
Client SatisfactionAt the beginning of 2025, CRIDO merged with Reon Legal Kicun sp.k. (the former Noerr team), which has bolstered its M&A capabilities. The now combined team offers clients legal, tax, financial, and business advice, and the team has also expanded with a new strategy and debt advisory team, enabling it to provide a well-rounded, comprehensive offering regarding M&A transactions. This includes support with corporate finance, due diligence, transactional structuring, and documentation preparation. Karol Kicun joined the practice through the merger and continues to act as managing partner. Mateusz Baran is a key senior name of note with impressive expertise in reorganisation processes and cross-border projects. Mateusz Stańczyk is another core member of the practice, with strong capabilities in the M&A tax law space. M&A specialist Renata Patoka is another new member of the group. Przemysław Furmaga departed the firm at the end of 2024.
