TGS Baltic, working with Oppenhoff, has advised Hawesko on its partnership with the Dunker Group through the acquisition of 50% of Dunker Group's shares. Triniti advised Arkastro OU, the holding company of Dunker Group founder Arvo Kask, who sold his stake to Hawesko.
Hawesko is a wine trading group. The Dunker Group is a wine and spirits wholesale trading group in the Baltics.
According to TGS Baltic, “until now, Dunker has been managed in partnership by the shareholders Andres Villomann and Arvo Kask (50% each). The latter is selling his shares to the Hawesko Group and leaving the management. The Hawesko Group is thus expanding its international activities and tapping into the Baltic market.”
The TGS Baltic team included Lithuania-based Partners Dalia Tamasauskaite-Ziliene and Marijus Krisciunas, Of Counsel Aleksandra Fedotova, and Senior Associates Jonas Salna and Ruta Tikuisyte; Estonia-based Partners Kadri Kallas and Helmut Pikmets, Associate Partner Triinu Jarviste, Senior Associates Mirko Kikkamagi, Mari Anne Rohtla, Sergei Jegorov, and Mari-Liis Orav, Associate Eva Arumets, and Lawyers Stina-Maria Lusti and Melmariin Salumae; and Latvia-based Partner Andra Rubene, Senior Associate Rudolfs Vilsons, and Associate Evija Abele.
