Kirkland Advises InPost S.A. on Proposed Acquisition of Mondial Relay
Kirkland & Ellis is advising InPost S.A., the Polish parcel locker firm formerly backed by Advent International Corp. and recently listed on Euronext Amsterdam, on its proposed acquisition of 100% of the shares of Mondial Relay, the leading French e-commerce out-of-home parcel delivery platform, from Otto Group for approximately EUR 565 million.
