Weinhold Legal provided legal assistance to JOJ Group, a media company present in  the Czech and Slovak media markets, in connection with its acquisition of a 100% stake in Československá filmová společnost, s.r.o. (whose portfolio includes tv stations such as CS film, CS mini, Horor film, War TV, Kinosvět and online videoportal Film popular).

Weinhold Legal assisted Lagardére Travel Retail, the global operator of duty free shops, in the concession procedure that it won to become the operator of duty free shops at Václav Havel airport. In winning the tender Lagardére acquired a contract to lease 24 business units with an area of 4,371 square meters. The initial term of the contract is ten years, during which the total rent is up to 8 billion Czech crowns.

Weinhold Legal provided full legal advice to Chropyňská strojírna, a.s. in its acquisition of a 100% stake in  HLS Czech s.r.o., which was part of the HLS Engineering Group. The company offers complete engineering processing in the body sector of the automotive industry.

Weinhold Legal advised on the entry of a strategic investment partner into LitFin. Maroš Kravec, managing partner of LitFin, commented on our cooperation: "Weinhold Legal have been with us since our inception and have helped us grow to our current investment, which is in the lower tens of millions of dollars. They have also supported us in one of our long-standing international cases, when we closed our first settlement with one of the largest multinational corporations of its kind in early June."

The Weinhold Legal team successfully represented the founders and 100% owners of the e-shop Libristo Media in its sale to the Albatros Media group. This transaction represents an important milestone for both parties. The move gives Albatros Media Group, a leading player in the book publishing and sales market in the Czech Republic and Central Europe, a strong position in foreign language literature and online sales. The move will enable Albatros Media to expand its product range and sales method and offer its customers an even wider range of quality titles.
