Wolf Theiss advised the founder of Genesis College, one of the most prestigious private educational institutions in Bucharest, in the process of securing an investment from Mozaik Investments, a growth investment fund with offices in Vienna and Bucharest. The transaction, which is of particular significance given the complexities related to the operation and authorisation of private schools in Romania, was signed on 29 July 2025.
The Wolf Theiss Corporate/M&A team, led by Partner Ileana Glodeanu and Counsel Mihai Coadă provided legal advice to the founder of Genesis College throughout all stages of the transaction, with regard to the new corporate structure, as well as the drafting, negotiation and signing of the investor shareholder agreement and other transactional documentation governed by Romanian law. Wolf Theiss also undertook the structuring of the transaction, finding innovative solutions in a complex context. Counsel George Ghitu, along with Associate Ruxandra Niţu, contributed to the completion of the transaction. Associate Claudia Andreescu (Competition & Antitrust) advised on merger clearance, foreign direct investment matters and approval from the competent regulatory authorities.
“This transaction marks a significant milestone for Genesis College as we enter a new phase of development alongside Mozaik Investments. We are confident that this partnership will strengthen our position to continue offering our students the highest standard education and conditions to reach their potential. We are happy to work with Ileana and Mihai as their professionalism, expertise and dedication were essential to the successful signing of this transaction.” – Ioana Necula, Founder of Genesis College
“For our team, it was a pleasure to assist the founder of Genesis College throughout this legal process, creating exciting new opportunities for growth and innovation at the first private school to be accredited in Bucharest. I am very proud of our Corporate/M&A team who managed to complete another transaction, one of the very few currently done in Romania, in the private educational sector. Last year Wolf Theiss assisted Dukes Education on the acquisition of the majority participation in Verita School and this transaction further strengthens Wolf Thiess expertise and sector knowledge.” – Ileana Glodeanu, Partner, Wolf Theiss
