OREANDA-NEWS. April 26, 2010. SORAINEN continues to be the only Baltic and Belarusian law firm both in Eastern Europe and overall to earn a mention in Bloomberg Global Legal Advisory on Mergers & Acquisitions Rankings Q1 2010. This recently published report, well regarded in the global M&A industry, ranks SORAINEN as high as third place among industry leaders in the Eastern Europe Announced Deals League Table. Rankings are based on the value and number of mergers and acquisition (M&A) transactions in the first quarter of 2010, reported the press-centre of SORAINEN.

SORAINEN held third place in Eastern Europe along with such major international law firms as Linklaters and Clifford Chance. In Q1 2010, the SORAINEN M&A team assisted A-Katsastus, the leading vehicle inspection company in Finland, with operations in Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, and Russia, in its acquisition of four vehicle inspection stations in Estonia; and Alma Media, the Nordic media group, in its acquisition of 100% of its Latvian and Lithuanian group companies involved in operating one of the real estate portals in the Baltics.
