Mergermarket, the leading provider of M&A data and intelligence, has published its 2019 report which analyses global and regional M&A activity over the past 12 months. As regards the Polish market, SSW Pragmatic Solutions was ranked in the top 10 of legal advisers. Furthermore, as regards the total value of our M&A transactions, we were the clear standout leader amongst domestic law firms operating in Poland.

In 2018, SSW advised on 2 transactions reported by Mergermarket, but during 2019 this increased to 7 M&A projects where SSW’s lawyers advised either the buyer or seller.
