According to the journalists of Mergermarket, Demusiak participated as the main advisor in the largest number of transactions in the region of Central and Eastern Europe.

Adam Demusiak, partner at PwC, M&A team leader, says:

“2017 was a record year for the Polish deal market, both in terms of volume and value. I am very happy that my activity in the field was recognized, and it only gives me more resolve to continue in 2018. The outlook for this year is also positive, with strong economic foundations and opportunities across various sectors. What is especially interesting to note is the fact that more and more Polish businesses are looking for growth through acquisitions abroad - also in Western Europe, especially in Germany. This is an exciting development, and shows our important role in the region. ”
