What is the role of a legal advisor in private equity transactions?

A legal advisor safeguards the fund’s interests and supports the creation of value within the portfolio company.

Private equity funds operate based on clearly defined investment objectives and require comprehensive legal support – both when acquiring companies (platform and add-on transactions) and when managing the portfolio.

The legal advisor assists with structuring the transaction, negotiating documentation, and designing protective mechanisms that strengthen the fund’s control over the investment and mitigate risks. Legal counsel also plays a key role in refinancing, exit processes, and ensuring regulatory and corporate compliance throughout the investment lifecycle.

If your fund is seeking legal support for acquisitions, investments, or portfolio management, get in touch with the Private Equity team at MFW Fiałek.

Which sectors in Poland are currently the most active in terms of M&A?

The highest M&A activity in Poland is currently observed in the IT, renewable energy, healthcare, FMCG, and professional services sectors.

The Polish M&A market remains particularly dynamic in industries related to technology (including software and IT services), renewable energy (especially solar and wind projects), healthcare services, and consumer goods (FMCG).

Investors are also showing strong interest in B2B services, outsourcing, and advisory or professional service firms, which continue to attract both domestic and international buyers.

These trends are closely aligned with broader European consolidation strategies, as investors look for scalable, high-margin sectors with long-term growth potential.

Is a management buy-out (MBO) possible in Poland?

Yes, management buy-outs (MBOs) are a well-established form of transaction in Poland – often carried out with the support of private equity funds.

A Management Buy-Out (MBO) involves the acquisition of a company by its management team, usually financed with external capital. These transactions are particularly common when the current owner wishes to transfer control to individuals who know the company’s operations and growth potential best.

In Poland, MBOs are most often supported by private equity investors, who provide both funding and transaction know-how. This partnership enables a smooth transfer of ownership and business continuity, while ensuring that the company remains in the hands of experienced management.

If you are considering an MBO transaction or need advice on structuring and financing such a deal, get in touch with the M&A team at MFW Fiałek.

What is the role of representations and warranties (R&W) in M&A transactions?

Representations and warranties (R&W) protect the buyer against hidden risks and irregularities in the target company.

R&W are statements made by the seller regarding the legal, financial, and operational condition of the company. If any of these statements prove untrue – for example, if undisclosed liabilities, disputes, or debts are revealed – the buyer may claim compensation from the seller.

In many deals, the parties also use Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance, which provides an additional layer of protection. For the seller, it limits financial exposure by transferring the risk to the insurer. For the buyer, it simplifies and speeds up the claims process, making negotiations more efficient.

R&W therefore form a core element of every M&A transaction, building trust between the parties and reducing uncertainty about the true state of the company being acquired.

Get in touch with our M&A team at MFW Fiałek – we advise on transaction structuring, documentation, and negotiating R&W and W&I clauses
