PRAGNUM provided due diligence and support for the acquisition of a company in the nuclear energy sector

PRAGNUM assists clients not only in resolving complex disputes, but also in the development of their activities. As an example – the request of a  client, which is a leading international expert in the field of Engineering, Procurement, Construction of nuclear facilities, for a full legal analysis (due diligence) of a Ukrainian company, a potential acquisition target of the client's foreign group of companies.

The company with a long history, specializing in the design, construction and implementation of projects in the field of nuclear energy, has production facilities, office infrastructure, licenses and permits for complex construction work, and is also an accredited partner of JSC NNEGC Energoatom.

The PRAGNUM team comprehensively investigated the entire history of the company's activities, verified the grounds for acquiring ownership of its real estate and other assets, corporate structure, financial condition, and assessed all possible risks of its involvement in the client's group of companies. Based on the results of the study of all aspects of the company's activities, we proposed a roadmap for its acquisition.

During the research stage, several controversial issues related to the acquisition of ownership of certain assets were identified. However, PRAGNUM lawyers proposed options for resolving them, which ultimately helped the client make a positive decision to invest in a Ukrainian company.

According to the client, "this strategic investment strengthens the group's position as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contractor in the nuclear energy sector and demonstrates the company's readiness to participate in the development of Ukraine's nuclear industry".
