Pepeliaev Group has been ranked among the most influential advisers in the M&A market

Pepeliaev Group was placed among the top 10 law firms in terms of the overall value and number of transactions advised on that involved controlling shareholdings. In addition, the firm was included in the ranking of legal M&A advisers based on the average value of transactions advised on.

Rather than considering those transactions which involved legal advisers, Russian M&A-Agency Group focussed only on those which met the criteria relevant to the rankings. For instance, there was a USD 5 million threshold for the minimum value of a transaction.

M&A is one of the pillars of Pepeliaev Group's corporate division. Our experts have accumulated significant experience of providing support on mergers and acquisitions projects. They offer clients the full range of services in terms of preparing for and handling such transactions, including conducting legal due diligence, advising on structuring issues, and providing support when transactions are entered into and implemented, including until the buyer assumes full control over the company.
