Our satisfaction is all the greater as the legal advisory services in the transaction we provided constituted another chapter of our cooperation with UTECH, initiated in 2017. At that time, the Client trusted Grant Thornton for the first time, entrusting our lawyers and tax advisors with advisory services in the process of division of a subsidiary by separating an organized part of the enterprise related to the production of transformers and transferring it to Power Engineering Transformatory Sp. z o.o. As part of the next stage of the project, together with our business advisors we provided support in the sale of the part of the shares in the latter company to a Croatian investor, as well as the development and negotiation of an agreement regulating the principles of cooperation between the shareholders.
