Gide Warsaw advised Farmaceutici Procemsa S.p.A., a portfolio company of Investindustrial, in its acquisition of a majority stake in Master Pharm S.A., a leading contract development and manufacturing company in Poland.
The team at Gide Warsaw – Paweł Grześkowiak (advocate, partner), Wojciech Czyżewski (advocate, senior associate) and Magdalena Zawiślak (trainee attorney-at-law, associate) – conducted a due diligence investigation, prepared the transaction documentation and supported the client during negotiations.
