Rymarz Zdort Maruta maintains its leading position in the Mergermarket Global & Regional M&A Report for 2025

9 January 2026

Mergermarket has published its global and regional rankings of legal advisors in the field of mergers and acquisitions for 2025 – Global and Regional M&A Rankings 2025 – Legal Advisors. This annual report provides key information on the performance of legal advisors around the world.

Rymarz Zdort Maruta ranked second for Poland in terms of both the number of transactions and their value, advising on 24 transactions worth nearly USD 9.5 billion.

Last year we had the pleasure of supporting clients from many sectors, including banking, energy, real estate, technology, healthcare and insurance.

Our high ranking is the result of having advised, among others: Erste Group (on the largest transaction in terms of value on the Polish market and the largest cross-border M&A transaction in the European banking sector in 21 years), Mennica Polska, FIP 11 FIZAN and Multico (in connection with the acquisition of control over the Mennica Legacy Tower complex (currently Mennica Towers) and the conclusion of a dispute over its ownership that had lasted more than five years), Ares Management and Slate Asset Management (in relation to the purchase of a portfolio of 36 properties in Poland worth over EUR 300 million, the largest transaction in the history of the retail park segment in Poland), Bank Handlowy w Warszawie (with regard to the sale of its retail banking segment to VeloBank), Dalkia Polska, Vectra Group, GIA Investments, GKSD and Gruppo San Donato, W.KRUK, XXXLutz, Innova Capital, Pluralis B.V., Spire Capital, Symfonia, Synthos, NEO Hospital, and Fortum.

More information about our recent transactions can be found here.

We would like to thank our clients for their trust and for giving us the opportunity to participate in so many interesting projects. Maintaining a high position in the Mergermarket ranking confirms that we are one of the leading law firms in Poland in the area of M&A. This achievement would not have been possible without the commitment and expertise of our team, which provides support to clients on a daily basis in connection with the largest and most complex M&A transactions and projects.

We hope that 2026 will be as equally successful for us and that we will be able to continue to advise on ambitious projects and support our clients at the level of commitment and effectiveness they have come to expect from us.
