Kinstellar successfully completes the acquisition of Noerr’s Bucharest operations, following the acquisition of Noerr’s Offices in Bratislava and Prague

5 September 2024 – Kinstellar is delighted to announce the successful completion of acquiring Noerr’s Bucharest operations, marking the final phase of the strategic transaction that also included acquiring Noerr’s offices in Bratislava and Prague.

This transaction represents a significant milestone in Kinstellar’s growth strategy across Central and Eastern Europe. With the addition of the new operations, first in the Czech Republic in Slovakia earlier this week and now in Romania, Kinstellar's presence in these markets has substantially expanded. With the addition of the new colleagues, Kinstellar Bucharest Office now boasts an even stronger team of 7 partners and approximately 50 highly skilled lawyers and business professionals.

Another highlight of this transaction is the acquisition of Noerr’s renowned Tax & Financial Advisory team into Kinstellar’s Romanian operations. This team brings specialised expertise in state aid projects, financial structuring and tax advisory services, significantly strengthening Kinstellar's multidisciplinary full-service offerings. This addition enhances our capability to deliver comprehensive solutions to our clients, particularly in complex and cross-border matters.

Kinstellar Bucharest will continue Noerr’s established focus on serving clients from the DACH markets (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), while integrating these capabilities into and strengthening the firm's regional dedicated desk. 

Kinstellar continues to grow, and thus, this milestone underscores our Firm’s commitment to providing top-tier services across our regions. We are confident that this strategic move will drive significant value for our clients and foster long-term growth.

Victor Constantinescu, Kinstellar Bucharest Managing Partner, adds: “This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Kinstellar in Romania. With the integration of Noerr’s team and expertise, we are expanding our capabilities and reinforcing the range of services we offer to better serve our clients. Together, we are better equipped to meet the evolving needs of our clients both locally and across borders. We look forward to the many opportunities this strengthened team will create. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our Bucharest partners, both new and existing – Zsuzsa Csiki, Iustinian Captariu, Remus Codreanu, Rusandra Sandu, Iulian Sorescu and Luiza Bedros – our project teams and all our people for their excellent teamwork."

Kristóf Ferenczi, Kinstellar’s Firm Managing Partner, comments: “We are thrilled to finalise this strategic acquisition, further solidifying Kinstellar’s presence in the Czech, Romanian and Slovak markets. We extend a warm welcome to our new colleagues now in Bucharest and are excited about the opportunities this expansion brings. The combination of our strengths and shared values will undoubtedly lead to enhanced service delivery and continued success for both our teams and our clients. I am very proud of and grateful to all of our colleagues who have worked very hard to make this achievement possible.”

Jason Mogg, Senior Partner, comments: “This is a remarkable achievement for Kinstellar, a testament to our firm’s commitment to expanding our footprint and capabilities in Central and Eastern Europe. Integrating such a highly respected team allows us to broaden our expertise and reinforce our position as a leading full-service firm in the region. I would like to thank our project teams and all our people – especially those in Bratislava, Bucharest and Prague – for their support and efforts.  We would all like to warmly thank co-managing partners Alexander Ritvay and Torsten Fett and the broader Noerr leadership and project team in Germany for their excellent collaboration to get this across the line.  We look forward to the new synergies this acquisition will create, ultimately benefiting our clients and driving our growth forward.”
