MKD acted as a legal counsel to EBRD on the sale of equity stake in JSC Basisbank

MKD's transaction team was led by Victor Kipiani, who was assisted by Giorgi Kankava. Xinjiang Hualing Industry and Trade Group which has a greatly diversified business, becomes the first privately owned Chinese group to buy a foreign commercial bank in Georgia. This acquisition represents a significant step towards diversification and expanding business overseas, including the financial sector, by the Chinese conglomerate. 

“We are very proud to act as counsel in such a transaction. This deal demonstrates that  the local finance industry provides large foreign actors  with good investment opportunities and, hope, this trend would be sustained“, said Victor Kipiani, partner at MKD.
