Selected transactions from 2025 included by PitchBook

Based on data from KWKR’s profile on PitchBook, the law firm was listed in 12 transactions in which it acted as legal advisor. Transactions closed in 2025 played a special role in the 2025 Ranking.

Addepto

KWKR advised on the comprehensive preparation and execution of a transaction involving Addepto, a Polish technology company specialising in AI.

The transaction was conducted in accordance with US law and involved the sale of a spun-off AI business to MKS Technology (Sunstone Partners). KWKR was responsible, among other things, for:

• the structure of the transaction,
• negotiating share purchase documentation in accordance with US law,
• coordinating the closing.

This was a strategic exit for Grape Up, and the project required reconciling US transaction standards with the realities of the Polish technology group’s operations.

BidFinance

KWKR represented the company, its founders and existing shareholders in negotiations of the investment agreement and organisation of the closing.
The transaction included:

• partial exit of the investor,
• conversion of financing from convertible loans to shares,

The total value of the transaction amounted to approximately PLN 7 million, of which approximately PLN 4 million was new capital.

Fresh Inset S.A.

KWKR provided comprehensive legal services for Radix Ventures’ investment in Fresh Inset S.A., the creator of the pioneering Vidre+ technology, which extends the freshness of fruit, vegetables and flowers.

The Radix Ventures Fund investment closed another round of financing for Fresh Inset S.A. with a total value of PLN 18 million, of which the fund’s share amounted to approximately EUR 1.5 million (approximately PLN 6 million).

The scope of KWKR’s work included:

• preparing and conducting a full due diligence process,

• securing the client’s key interests in the round structure.

This was yet another investment by Radix Ventures Fund carried out with the participation of KWKR.
