Clifford Chance, working with Jalsovszky, has advised a club of banks led by Ceska Sporitelna on the financing for CVC Capital Partners and Emma Capital's acquisition of Packeta (reported by CEE Legal Matters on January 9, 2024). Wolf Theiss advised Packeta.

The bank club included Ceska Sporitelna, Ceskoslovenska Obchodni Banka, and Citibank. According to Clifford Chance, "the transaction further involves refinancing and restructuring of Packeta group's existing financing."

CVC is a private equity and investment advisory firm with a network of 29 offices throughout Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the US, with approximately USD 177 billion in assets under management.

Emma Capital is a private investment holding founded in 2012 by Jiri Smejc.
