On December 7, Denis Sobe-Panek, co-owner of Autostels, one of the leaders of the Russian auto parts market, gave a presentation for Master's students. Denis Maksimovich told the students of the St. Petersburg Higher School of Economics about the tools of structuring M&A deals on the example of a recent investment attraction deal in Autostels. The students learned about instruments protecting investors' rights (e.g., ratchet option, tag-along, pre-emptive right) and sellers' rights. Also, Denis Maksimovich shared a number of useful consulting frameworks and talked about his unusual career path.
We would like to thank Denis Maksimovich for the interesting lecture!
