Kinstellar has announced it successfully completed the acquisition of Noerr’s Bratislava, Bucharest, and Prague operations.
This acquisition was originally reported by CEE Legal Matters on April 3, 2024. An acquisition of Noerr's Budapest office was also planned, however, the local office went solo (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 31, 2024) before joining WTS Legal in June 2024 (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on June 28, 2024).
According to Kinstllar, "with the addition of the new operations, first in the Czech Republic in Slovakia earlier this week and now in Romania, Kinstellar's presence in these markets has substantially expanded. With the addition of the new colleagues, Kinstellar Bucharest Office now boasts an even stronger team of seven partners and approximately 50 highly skilled lawyers and business professionals."
The Bucharest office is led by Managing Partner Victor Constantinescu and also includes Partners Zsuzsa Csiki, Iustinian Captariu, Remus Codreanu, Rusandra Sandu, Iulian Sorescu, and Luiza Bedros.
Furthermore, Kinstellar reports that another "highlight of this transaction is the acquisition of Noerr’s renowned tax & financial advisory team into Kinstellar’s Romanian operations. This team brings specialized expertise in state aid projects, financial structuring, and tax advisory services, significantly strengthening Kinstellar's multidisciplinary full-service offerings."
“We are thrilled to finalize this strategic acquisition, further solidifying Kinstellar’s presence in the Czech, Romanian, and Slovak markets," Kinstellar's Firm Managing Partner Kristof Ferenczi commented. "We extend a warm welcome to our new colleagues now in Bucharest and are excited about the opportunities this expansion brings."
