We are proud to present the GESSEL Transaction Summary 2025, highlighting key projects delivered by our Mergers and acquisitions and Private Equity team.
In 2025, we advised on 37 transactions with a total value exceeding PLN 4.1 billion, supporting both long-standing clients and ones who entrusted us with their affairs for the first time. The scale of this activity has been reflected in the Mergermarket Legal Advisors League Tables 2025, where GESSEL ranked 3rd in Poland by number of M&A transactions advised on.
“Each completed transaction was a source of satisfaction for us – both in terms of strengthening the position of our M&A practice in the market and of participating in projects supporting the strategic development of our Clients in Poland and in foreign markets. We are pleased that the combination of our transactional experience with a comprehensive and pragmatic approach to each project contributes to the implementation of the vision of our business partners.,” commented Marcin Macieszczak, Managing Partner at GESSEL.
We invite you to browse the publication and to see how we support entrepreneurs and investors in processes critical to the development of their businesses – both in Poland and in cross-border transactions.
