Sorainen has advised the Vienna Insurance Group on consolidating the businesses of its group non-life insurance companies Compensa and Seesam in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
As a result of the transaction, VIG consolidated the businesses of Lithuania's Compensa with branches in Latvia and Estonia, Estonia's Seesam with branches in Lithuania and Latvia, and Compensa's subsidiaries in Lithuania and Latvia - both insurance intermediaries.
