PwC has welcomed Hugh Owen, former Partner of Allen & Overy, to strengthen PwC’s M&A practice in the CEE region and Ukraine. Hugh is an acknowledged and highly regarded expert in regional M&A.
At PwC Hugh will focus on English M&A law and general M&A support. He will be available for expert consultations on English law all over the CEE region and in Ukraine, in particular. He has wide sectoral experience, from financial institutions, technology, media and telecoms, to energy and utilities, healthcare, real estate, and defence.
Hugh joined the magic circle firm Allen & Overy in 1994. He was the Head of the SEE Desk and, since early 2016, head of the Ukraine Desk. He set up A&O's Slovak office in 2000 and established A&O's associated office in Romania in 2008, as well as spending several years in Budapest. At the end of 2017, he established his own law firm, called Go2Law, completing over 20 M&A transactions, and joined the PwC team in September 2021.
"I am happy to embark on this new journey with PwC. I have many long-term connections in the CEE region and in Ukraine, in particular, and look forward to working with PwC clients on many complex transactions,"
“We are excited to have Hugh in the PwC team as a highly respected and trusted advisor. I believe that his experience, comprehensive approach and strategic vision will help many of our clients easily overcome the challenges they face with M&A transactions in Ukraine and abroad. PwC’s M&A offering is now stronger than ever. Our deals team is fully equipped with comprehensive cross-market expertise and solid practical experience, handling numerous complex M&A deals to serve our clients as the leading M&A advisor,”
