GESSEL advised the founders of Clicktrans on the sale of a majority stake to Spire Capital

GESSEL advised Agnieszka Korzeniewska and Michał Brzeziński, the founders of Clicktrans sp. z o.o., one of Europe’s largest online marketplaces connecting customers with carriers, on the sale of a majority stake in the company to Spire Capital, a Polish private equity fund investing in high growth technology businesses. The founders retained a significant shareholding in Clicktrans and will continue to develop the business together with the investor.

Clicktrans serves more than 2 million registered users, who have placed over 5 million orders through the platform, and works with a network of more than 70,000 verified carriers. Clicktrans operates in 12 markets outside Poland, with more than half of its revenue generated internationally. The partnership with Spire Capital is intended to accelerate Clicktrans’ international expansion, further develop its product offering and enhance its matching algorithms connecting customers with carriers.

GESSEL provided comprehensive legal advice throughout all stages of the transaction, including structuring the deal, preparing and negotiating the transaction documentation, establishing the framework for the founders’ continued cooperation with the investor, and successfully guiding the signing and closing process.

“Founder exits and the structuring of the relationship between founders and a new institutional investor are among the most demanding transactions. Beyond legal expertise, they require a deep understanding of the founders’ business objectives and personal priorities. We are delighted to have supported the founders of Clicktrans at such an important stage in the company’s development. The fact that more and more entrepreneurs entrust us with advising them on these pivotal transactions is, to us, the strongest confirmation of the confidence they place in our team, and we are truly grateful for that,” said Michał Wieliński, Managing Associate at GESSEL.
