KPMG Legal – Toncescu și Asociatii SPARL assists La Fantana in the acquisition of a company owning a natural mineral water spring in Romania

The combined teams from KPMG Legal – Toncescu si Asociatii SPARL and KPMG in Romania involving lawyers, advisory and tax specialists have assisted La Fantana, the leading water cooler and coffee office solutions provider in both Romania and Serbia, in securing the acquisition of a company owning a natural mineral water spring in Romania.

The project was coordinated by  Bogdan Vaduva, (Partner and Head of Deal Advisory -  KPMG Romania) Laura Toncescu, (Partner and Head of KPMG Legal Toncescu si Asociatii SPARL), Dragos Iamandoiu (Managing Associate, KPMG Legal Toncescu si Asociatii SPARL) and Dan Pana (Director in KPMG in Romania’s Tax Department), with an important contribution from Corina Roman (Managing Associate KPMG Legal – Toncescu si Asociatii) and Ruxandra Petcu (Senior Associate KPMG Legal – Toncescu si Asociatii).  

KPMG Legal and KPMG teams supported La Fantana with a wide range of services in relation to the acquisition. The legal services included due-diligence, support with specific transaction legal assistance related documents, as well as legal memos on specific topics. KPMG in Romania’s Tax and Advisory specialists provided consultancy on tax and environmental matters as well as financial due-diligence.

As Laura Toncescu comments: “KPMG Legal- Toncescu si Asociatii has gained a strong reputation for providing high quality support to clients in complex M&A transactions. We are really glad to have assisted La Fantana to expand its operations, the entire process being extremely complex, since the sector is highly regulated. Numerous environmental factors came into play, and so it was a big advantage that we had a multidisciplinary team and were able to draw on the broad range of skills and specialisms which exist at KPMG. The project reaffirms KPMG in Romania’s credentials as a preferred consultant for M&A transactions.”
