Selling a majority stake in a real family-owned company like ours was a complicated challenge (as it is for any other owner in this situation). The challenge was even more complicated because of the fact that our ownership structure covered different generations which resulted in very different opinions on each challenge posed by the sale process!

Throughout the engagement we have received great support from the IMAP team, who committed its knowledge, time and energy into the entire process and ultimately greatly contributed to finalizing the transaction to the satisfaction of both parties.

We worked on this project for two whole years. At first, our objective was to merge four firms, our company with 3 other independent companies, and then to find a strategic partner together.

Apart from the obvious aspects, like professionalism, flexibility and knowledge, it is essential that you can quickly develop an easy and dynamic relationship between you and your adviser. Jurgis and Slaven are tremendous characters and were generous with their time and energy, whether for the formal events or the impromptu get-togethers to take us through challenges.

We thank you Slaven and Jurgis and the whole IMAP team for the energy you have invested in closing this transaction in a short, but very intense, process.

We will not forget your impeccable suggestion for legal counsel, who is a true professional and who succeeded to win the trust of my family when negotiating with the counterparty, such a large multinational corporation. Dražen (Partner at law office Porobija & Porobija) has also been an important member of the team and we want to thank him as well for his great commitment in the process.
