In another European cross border transaction, Dagmar Dubecka and Jaroslav Mikovec (Kocián Šolc Balaštik) led a team of Czech lawyers co-operating with Per-Ivar Svensson and Rebecka Ekberg (Delphi & Co., Sweden) representing the Swedish company NIBE Industrier AB in the acquisition of the Czech company DZ Drazice, a leading producer of electric water heaters.

WSG member firms Lawfort (Belgium) and Cassels Brock (Ontario, Canada), worked with the Belgian government to organize an informative investment seminar in Toronto. With more than 50 attendees, the seminar offered an opportunity for senior decision-makers in the Toronto marketplace to learn about opportunities in Belgium.
Chaired by Lorne Saltman of Cassels Brock, the event included presentations on innovative Belgian fiscal measures, investment incentives, and included a presentation by Belgium's Prince Philippe. In addition, Cassels Brock's Renate Herbst participated as a panelist with the roundtable session.

"We were honored to be chosen by the Belgian government to help organize this event. We immediately contacted Cassels Brock, WSG's Ontario firm who contributed in making the seminar a success." said Jane Murphy, lawyer and Lawfort's main contact for the event.
