Arendt is proud to have advised longstanding client Ufenau Capital Partners on the Luxembourg law aspects of its first-ever acquisition in Poland.

Ufenau VII Asset Light, SLP has acquired KWKR, a dynamic Polish law firm, in a transaction that breaks new ground in the local legal industry. This marks the first private equity investment of its kind in a law firm in Poland and sets the stage for the creation of a leading group offering legal, tax and accounting services across Poland and the broader Central and Eastern European region.

KWKR and Ufenau are jointly launching a buy-and-build strategy to consolidate the professional services market in the region. This pioneering initiative not only represents Ufenau’s first investment in Poland, but also opens a new chapter for KWKR, which is expanding its team and capabilities with the support of Ufenau’s capital and strategic expertise.
