In response to the questions received in this respect, the firm has provided a number of details. FutureLife a.s.. is a leading Pan-European provider of IVF and related genetics services, with highly active subsidiaries across eight European countries, including Romania.

Bondoc si Asociații has assisted on all Romanian law-related matters relevant for the buy-side, in cooperation with foreign transaction counsels.

B&A’s assistance was coordinated by Lucian Bondoc with support from Bogdan Bunrau. In total, more than 15 specialized lawyers, including 7 B&A partners (Lucian Bondoc, Mihaela Bondoc, Bogdan Bunrău, Viorel Dinu, Monica Iancu, Simona Petrișor și Raluca Voinescu) were involved in various work streams.

Lucian Bondoc: “These types of projects are always complex as they cover a very heavily regulated sector, require intense involvement and large teams due to the transaction calendar and the broad variety of relevant legal areas and also involve constant correlation with counsels abroad. The healthcare sector is also one of those domains where it is not rare to have several legislative changes between the start of a project and its completion.”

This project reconfirms B&A’s excellence in both M&A matters more generally (where B&A assisted on 22 occasions in 2021) and the healthcare sector (where the firm is daily involved in extensive advice and regularly on M&A projects).
