OUR CONTRIBUTION
Sazun advised Isovolta AG across all the steps of the transaction, including market research, the scouting of opportunities, valuation, the negotiation of the deal structure and the coordination of the due diligence, up to the final closing actions. Given the nature of the transaction, the COVID-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions turned out to be a real challenge throughout the project. Nevertheless, through persistent project management and communication, we managed to bring it to a successful closing.
