Spring reinforcements in the Legal Transaction Advisory Team at ALTO

The ever-growing demand for comprehensive services, including both legal and tax transaction consultancy, means that teams that support this type of projects in law firms are becoming more and more numerous.

In response to market needs, the Legal Transaction Advisory Team at ALTO is also growing in strength.

The team led by Rafał Kozłowski (Counsel, attorney-at-law) already consists of five people, including Szymon Tyniec (Associate, attorney-at-law), Jędrzej Besztak (Associate), Ewa Michalska (Junior Associate, trainee attorney-at-law) and Aleksandra Traczuk (Paralegal).

– Our team consists of people who have gained valuable experience both in international and renowned Polish law firms. On our professional paths, we supported clients in prestigious M & A / PE transactions, during fundraising from Polish and foreign VC funds, as well as in various corporate projects. By combining our unique competences, we create a team for special tasks – says Rafał Kozłowski, leading the Legal Transaction Consulting Team at ALTO.

Rafał started building the transaction team at ALTO about 2.5 years ago. Previously, he worked in Berlin with international VC / PE funds and on the Polish M&A market. He has advised clients from various sectors of the economy and from around the world. From Mexico, through Anglo-Saxon and European countries, to Singapore. From the food industry to fintech. Rafał’s extensive knowledge and experience allow him to search for the best solutions, guided by the principle of thinking out of the box.

Szymon deals with transaction advisory, in particular cooperating with investors on the venture capital market. He also conducts key projects for startups, including implementing employee shareholding programs (ESOP) with them. Previously, he advised clients operating on the market of new technologies, but also those operating in traditional industries, such as, for example, waste management. Nothing is impossible for Szymon, on some things you just need to work on with more grit.

Jędrzej joined us relatively recently from Gessel, where he worked on the largest M&A transactions from the front pages of the business press. Now he is transferring this experience to a variety of transactional projects, both large and small. Sometimes a smaller investment ticket can be a bigger challenge, but Jędrzej is perfectly able to control the situation.

Ewa has been with ALTO for over two years and from the beginning she has been dealing with corporate projects and mergers & acquisitions with great commitment. This is a continuation of her professional path that started at White & Case. Ewa’s meticulousness reduces the risk of errors, and her above-average diligence, shown not only in numerous due diligence processes, means that the closing of the transaction is all buttoned up.

The team is completed by Aleksandra, who supports the other team members in various projects. Aleksandra does not like boredom and takes up new challenges in the blink of an eye. There is probably no other person who would use the phrase “how can I help you today?” as often as Aleksandra.

– Our team is developing dynamically, implementing M&A and mezzanine mid-market projects, as well as those on the VC market. By having in ALTO leading funds and taxes specialists in the Polish market, we undertake innovative projects providing services on the basis of “one stop shop”. Clients appreciate such a holistic approach to the raised issues, and so, e.g. as part of the ALTO360VC service, VC funds get a service that takes into account transaction, regulatory and tax competences. We are very happy that they put so much trust in us, which directly translates into the constantly growing number of implemented projects. In this case, team development is a natural consequence of business development. – adds Rafał Kozłowski.
