We are proud that our hard work has been recognised – it’s a testament to our dedication, teamwork, and precision and the icing on the cake for the celebration of 15 years of our Bratislava office – without them this transaction would not have taken place.. Thanks to Rob Irving of Dentons, on the sell side, thanks to him, it was for me also the most professional and gentlemanlike transaction of the last years.” Congratulation to all winners.
