DLA Piper has provided legal support to Discovery Communications, part of the Discovery Group — one of the world's leading documentary media groups, which broadcasts in Ukraine through the Discovery Channel — in obtaining merger clearance from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine for the acquisition (made together with Liberty Group (which owns and operates cable networking in 12 countries across Europe)) of ALL3Media Holding Limited.
Through this concentration, which represents a significant M&A transaction on the European media market, Discovery Communications LLC and Liberty Global Europe Limited ensure joint control over All3Media Holdings Limited, the largest independent television broadcaster in the UK.
DLA Piper's team for this project was led by Managing Partner Margarita Karpenko, and included Legal Director Galyna Zagorodniuk and Associate Dmytro Tkachenko.
