CMS has advised long-standing client OTP Group on its acquisition of Societe Generale’s Croatian bank, Splitska Banka, and its leasing and insurance subsidiaries. Jones Day Paris was lead counsel to Societe Generale, with Schoenherr Zagreb advising on Croatian matters.

The deal is expected to be completed in the summer of 2017 upon receipt of all regulatory and competition approvals.

CMS's transaction team was led by Partner Eva Talmacsi, with support from Senior Associates Zoltan Poronyi, Peter Toth, Eszter Kalman, and Anna Burchner, Senior Counsel Gabor Gelencser, Associate Szabolcs Szendro, and lawyer Jason Todd.
