Salans’ Central Eastern European (CEE) network has advised Telesystem International Wireless (TIW) on the €825m (£575m) refinancing of its flagship Czech subsidiary – handing the firm a lead role opposite a team of top international law firms.

Salans secured the instruction through its Prague arm, which it acquired from disintegrating US firm Altheimer & Gray last year. The team is a long-standing adviser to TIW, the Canadian mobile telephone operator.
