Oaklins remains #1 in the 2020 Baltic league tables
Despite the challenging business environment in 2020, many markets have seen a swift recovery in M&A transaction volumes during the second half of the year, the Baltic states undeniably being one of them. We are pleased to announce that, in this turbulent environment, Oaklins has remained as the most trusted advisor in the Baltic region, ranking #1 by number of closed transactions in 2020. During the year, the Oaklins team successfully closed three sell-side and three buy-side transactions, with Lithuania experiencing the most activity.
Among Oaklins' completed deals is the largest disclosed transaction in Lithuania in 2020 - the sale of MediCa group - the largest healthcare clinics chain in Lithuania - to Repharm group - the largest healthcare holding in Latvia - in a landmark cross-border transaction. Other closed deals include Orion's investment in Admen, the acquisition of NNL by its management team, InHouse Finance's acquisition of a software developer Improxy in Portugal, the sale of broadcasting systems integrator TVC Solutions by Practica Capita, as well as Baltcap-owned Coffee Adress' acquisition of Kafe Serviss to create the largest Baltic coffee vending services group in Latvia.
The excellent performance, as well as the consistent choice by leading businesses to work with Oaklins' professionals, has been recognized by Mergermarket, which announced Oaklins as the Baltic M&A Financial Adviser of the Year 2020. Oaklins has also been recognized internationally in the official Mergermarket's league tables, being ranked #11 in Europe and #17 globally, with 93 and 139 deals respectively.
