SK&S advised Smart Pension in relation to the transfer of an IT team

Our lawyers advised British-based Smart Pension Ltd on the acquisition of an IT team that included over thirty engineers, IT specialists, and developers, previously engaged by Smart’s contractor, Code & Pepper Sp. o.o.

Smart is a global savings and investments technology platform provider. In turn, Code & Pepper is an IT company that delivers tailor-made IT solutions for the Fin-Tech sector.

Our lawyers provided comprehensive legal support in: structuring the transaction, negotiations, and drafting transactional and employment documents, as well as in assisting in the team’s transfer to a Smart subsidiary.

The project was completed by SK&S’ transaction team: Anna Kratiuk – Senior Counsel, Maciej Gil – Junior Associate, and Kacper Kurowski – Junior Associate. Filip Sodulski – Senior Associate, and Aneta Brzózka – Junior Associate, advised on employee matters. The project was supervised by Robert Gawałkiewicz – Managing Partner.

Code & Pepper was supported by our colleagues from the Ożóg Tomczykowski law office with whom we efficiently closed the transaction.

Dear Sirs,

We would like to inform you that in recent days, fraudulent emails impersonating our law firm have appeared online. In some cases, these emails include alleged invoices issued by SK&S.

Such fraudulent emails can be identified as they are sent from unusual, unknown addresses that do not belong to our domain. Additionally, these messages are often sent from addresses deceptively similar to those of legitimate senders. We want to emphasize that our law firm has no connection to these emails. All official correspondence from us is sent exclusively from addresses within the domain @skslegal.pl.

We have reported this matter to the Police, specifically to the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime, due to suspicions of criminal activity. Please exercise caution: carefully verify the sender’s address and avoid opening any suspicious emails or attachments. If in doubt, we recommend deleting such correspondence immediately.
