Clifford Chance Badea has advised the German-based REWE / DerTour group with retail and tourism activities, in relation to the acquisition of the travel agency arm of Eurolines Romania.
The multidisciplinary project team included Nadia Badea, partner, Loredana Ralea (lead counsel), senior associates Ecaterina Burlacu (M&A) and Diana Crângașu (on competition law issues), and Maria Ciulică, lawyer.
The Bucharest office of the global law firm has advised the German group throughout the entire process, starting with the structure and due diligence stage, regulatory assistance, drafting, negotiating and signing of related documentation, as well as notifying the transaction to the competition authorities. The deal involved the analysis of competition aspects in several jurisdictions, thus requiring coordination with specialized lawyers from other Clifford Chance offices.
