CMS has advised the Partners Group on its acquisition of a majority share of the VSB Group. Closing remains contingent on regulatory approval.

According to CMS, “the VSB Group, which employs approximately 300 people in 19 locations, has been involved since 1996 in the creation of over 600 wind farms and photovoltaic installations, with an installed capacity of approximately 900 MW and the investment value of about EUR 1.3 billion.”

The Partners Group manages assets valued at approximately USD 94 billion on the private equity, real estate, and infrastructural markets.

CMS’ team in Warsaw included Partner Lukasz Szatkowski, Senior Associates Mikolaj Markiewicz and Rafal Burda, Associate Wojciech Szopinski, and Lawyers Patrycja Styczynska, Pawel Ura, Jakub Rykowski, Mateusz Mazur, and Konrad Leszko. CMS’ Germany-based team was led by Partners Holger Kraft and Exkart Gottschalk.
