CMS’s strong M&A market position in the insurance sector in Poland

In the last three months alone, international law firm CMS has supported its clients on important transactions in the Polish insurance market.

• Advising Neuca S.A. on the acquisition of a majority stake in Pomerania Investment S.A., the sole shareholder of TU Zdrowie S.A. 
• Advising MetLife on the sale of MetLife’s Polish companies (more information can be found here).
• Advising GrECo Group on the multi-jurisdictional acquisition of MAI CEE Insurance Brokers.
• Advising Generali Group on the merger of Concordia Polska TU S.A. with Generali TU S.A. This process included the prior transformation of Concordia Polska TUW into a joint stock company (demutualisation), the first successfully completed process of this type in Poland.

The multidisciplinary CMS team’s advice on the aforementioned transactions included – in addition to transactional lawyers – lawyers specialising in regulatory advice for the insurance sector: Ewa Świderska, Head of the Insurance Practice in Poland, and Sylwia Raszplewicz-Czyżewska.

“The involvement of the CMS team in these transactions once again confirms that CMS offers advisory services at the highest level, both in terms of M&A transactions and regulatory advice, and international transactions,” emphasises Ewa Świderska, Head of the Insurance Practice at CMS Poland.
