Schoenherr has been awarded “Austrian M&A Legal Adviser of the Year” at Mergermarket’s European M&A Awards 2014.
Alexander Popp (partner for corporate and M&A) accepted the award on Schoenherr’s behalf at the ceremony held at London’s Savoy hotel December 11.
Schoenherr advised on a broad range of headline transactions over the past year, including telecoms giant América Móvil on its €21.4bn (£17bn) public takeover offer for all shares in Telekom Austria, as well as its syndication agreement with Telekom Austria core shareholder ÖIAG (the Republic of Austria’s state holding company).
The Mergermarket European M&A Awards pay tribute to those legal, financial, public relations and accountancy advisers which have played leading roles in deal-making in Europe over the past year. Firms are nominated for these awards through an empirical shortlisting process based on Mergermarket’s M&A database. The winners are selected by a panel of judges consisting of board members from leading banks and investment firms, as well as prominent academics and lawyers.
