The Winner of the John Kerr Memorial Fund Award

  • Firm: Fellner Wratzfeld & Partners Rechtsanwälte GmbH

I am delighted to announce that after much deliberation our adjudicators have awarded the inaugural John Kerr Memorial Fund Award to Josef Peer from Fellner Wraztfeld.

The competition was fierce, with lawyers from all over Europe competing. The judges paid tribute to the quality of all the candidates and they really were enormously impressed by each and every one. They found it particularly uplifting to engage with Josef who so evidently shared John’s values and enthusiasm for the AEL.  They could not over-emphasise to me how difficult it was to reach a final decision and they discussed it at very considerable length.

We shall be conducting an interview with Josef shortly and will publish it to the website once complete.

As his prize Josef has now been invited to attend our AGM in Madrid in 2021 as our guest and will also receive a cash prize.  He will also attend our virtual AGM this year.

At each AGM we shall open up the next year competition and would invite all of you to nominate a candidate(s) from your firm who you think fulfils the criteria (as attached) of the award set by John Kerr’s wife Adrienne.  I really do hope this will be the start of an exciting initiative to get more junior members of all our firms and the wider membership, involved with AEL.

If you have any queries in the meantime please do not hesitate to contact me.

Real Estate Investment Opportunity in Serbia

  • Firm: Zivkovic Samardzic Law Office

Dear All,

Please find attached Investment teaser for one RE office building project in Serbia – Belgrade.  We share this in case some of our AEL colleagues have clients that might be interested. This should be share deal structure, with minimal price of 82+ mil EUR; however, the equity part could go down to 25 mil eur. Final cash on cash return is more than 7% annually.

Please note that we are not acting as sole advisors for the sell side (CBS international is main broker and they are contacting potential buyers already), so it is essential that we should have very close coordination with any law firm from the network to determine to whom they intend to present this investment prospect, prior sending it.

If anyone is interested, we could provide all further information.  Please contact Branislav Zivkovic (branislav.zivkovic@zslaw.rs)

Thank you.

AGM 2019

  • Firm: Gorrissen Federspiel
  • Members involved: Gorrissen Federspiel

From 5th September to 8th September 2019, we were hosted by our friends at Gorrissen Federspiel in Denmark.

Delegates stayed in The Hotel Admiral and this is where the afternoon session of the AGM itself also took place.

On Thursday 5th September we were welcomed by Christian Alsoe for Welcome Drinks at Gorrissen Federspiel’s most impressive office followed by dinner at Bistro Boheme.  Bistro Boheme is one of the great successes in the Copenhagen restaurant scene in recent years serving good old-fashioned French gastronomy. ‘This year’s bistro/brasserie’ in 2009, 2012 and 2016 voted by the Danish Dining Guide.

The AGM commenced at 9:30am on Friday 6th September in Gorrissen Federspiel’s unique auditorium with a welcome from Jeff Gillbanks’ who gave his report on the previous year.  We also heard from Ben Smith on accounts, Risto Vahimets with the Junior Board on their feedback and Philippe Francois on the 2020 Training Seminar.

After a short coffee break our first speaker, William de Wijlder, Group Chief Economist BNP Paribas, gave a presentation/Q&A session on the “Economic Outlook for lawyers” which was received well amongst our European colleagues.

After this we were picked up by coach to return to The Hotel Admiral for lunch followed by our second speaker, Rikke Stürup, Cand. Psyk., Master of Science who spoke about ”The different good roles of the Trusted Advisor”?

Jeff Gillbanks rounded off the day in announcing The John Kerr Memorial Fund, a fund set up in John’s memory to find and reward young lawyers within our member firms.

We hope that all delegates found both presentations as interesting as we did.  Please send any ideas for future topics of our AGMs to Helen Cooper.

Whilst the AGM was going on the spouses in attendance were treated to a guided tour at Kronborg Castle including visits to the royal lodges, the dance hall, the castle church and Holger Danske  followed by lunch at Restaurant Sletten.  Restaurant Sletten is located in the old town of Sletten. Surrounded by fishermen’s cottages and directly overlooking the harbour and the sea, the place oozes of charm and nostalgia.  The restaurant is owned by the chef duo behind Michelin-star restaurant Formel B in Copenhagen.

That evening, we took a short boat ride to the venue of the Gala Dinner at Restaurant Kost og Mask located at the top of the Opera House, which is inspired by the theatrical term for the final dress rehearsal, where the entire ensemble is present in costume and makeup.

The less formal part of the programme on Saturday included a guided tour at the Skovlyst Brewery with tastings and a presentation of their philosophy followed by lunch.  The brewery has existed since 2004.  Everything is homemade and home-baked and is based on the seasonal ingredients, and the beer from Brewery Skovlyst is sold exclusively on site.  Delegates then returned to by the hotel to go on a guided architectural tour by boat through Copenhagen Harbour.  Dinner that evening was in Restaurant Gemyse within Tivoli Gardens followed by fireworks and music.

We are very grateful to those at Gorrissen Federspiel for an excellently organised and successful event.

Anderson Strathern – Taking the temperature of Scottish Business – pre-Brexit

  • Firm: Anderson Strathern LLP
  • Members involved: Anderson Strathern LLP

Brexit continues to present many challenges and opportunities for Scottish business leaders and with the EU and the UK agreeing a further delay to Brexit, until the 31st October, we understand the further uncertainty this presents for our business communities across the UK and the EU.  Whatever the outcome of Brexit, many aspects of Scottish industry and beyond continue to be touched by Brexit. That’s why Anderson Strathern has decided to take the pulse of business Scotland.

They have polled over 250 senior people from across Scottish industries to understand how ready Scotland is for Brexit. The research has uncovered some key implications and opportunities for Scottish business’ during Brexit and beyond. Anderson Strathern found that the EU workforce is key for Scotland and whilst a high proportion of business’ have started a risk assessment, larger companies are most prepared, whilst the majority of smaller to medium sized companies have yet to fully prepare. The uncertainty surrounding Brexit is affecting business confidence. However, there is also optimism where Scottish business leaders see the continuation of an EU workforce, regardless of the outcome, and the opening up of further trading opportunities outside of the EU market.

They also looked at the differences between the two largest Scottish economic centres Edinburgh and Glasgow. What does Scotland plc think pre-Brexit? Read the full Brexit White Paper here and follow Anderson Strathern’s research news using #BrexitandBeyond

Hungarian law firm Lakatos Köves & Partners (LKT) announces that John Fenemore, a senior banking and finance lawyer from a leading London/City firm, joins LKT as a partner

  • Firm: Lakatos, Köves & Partners

Fenemore advises lenders and borrowers on trade finance and growth market transactions. He joins LKT as a partner in the Banking & Finance practice, working alongside partner and practice area head Szabolcs Mestyán.

Fenemore joins LKT from Clifford Chance’s London office. He began his legal career in Budapest with the predecessor of LKT, and then moved to London where he has been based since 2002, save for a 5 year period in Bucharest.

Managing partner Péter Lakatos said “we are very pleased to welcome John back to Budapest. With our predominantly international client-base it is important for us to have lawyers in our team with extensive experience in the London market. With John’s arrival we also maintain and develop our English law resource. In addition, John has the further advantage of fluent Hungarian and Romanian. We have always seen ourselves as innovators – with this step, raising our combined international and Hungarian Banking and Finance capability beyond anything currently available in Budapest, we are again leading the way. We are confident that banks, the finance community generally and the law firms who refer work to us will appreciate the benefits offered by this additional capability.”

Banking & Finance head Szabolcs Mestyán said “I have worked with John over many years and I am very pleased he has agreed to join our team here. With his London based emerging markets experience, and long track record of working with banks focussed on Central Europe, he will be a great addition to our Banking & Finance practice, which serves banks operating mainly out of London, Frankfurt and Vienna.”

John Fenemore said “it is great to be going back to Budapest. I began my legal career in Budapest, and have spent much of my time since then working in Central Europe, both on the ground in Budapest and Bucharest but also managing transactions across the CEE region from London. I know the LKT team well, having worked with them both while they were part of Clifford Chance and as an independent firm since 2009. They impressed me by their integrity, responsiveness and by the quality of their work. The LKT partners have built one of the leading independent firms in Hungary and I am excited by the challenge of helping the LKT team to offer first class advice to investors and institutions in Hungary and across the region.”
