Headed by partner Jan Diblík, the experts at HAVEL & PARTNERS, the
largest Czech-Slovak law firm, provided comprehensive advisory with significant
IT aspects on the sale of a company that develops time tracking add-ons, also
known as Prime Timesheet. In the course of the acquisition process that lasted
several months, Tempo Ehf, an Icelandic IT company with an international
ownership structure, acquired the Czech SPV which owns Prime Timesheet.
Several specialised teams at HAVEL & PARTNERS participated in the closing of the transaction. Beside partner Jan Diblík, associate Pavel Zahradníček advised on the sale of Prime Timesheet. Partner Pavel Němeček was responsible for M&A advisory, while associate Monika Čermáková and counsel Josef Žaloudek handled the corporate and tax aspects of the transaction, respectively. Leveraging our extensive know-how in the area of technology law and M&A, we ensured the smooth and efficient completion of this comprehensive transaction to the satisfaction of both parties.
Developed primarily by an
independent programmer, Prime Timesheet contains one of the most successful
add-ons enabling time tracking in the well-known Jira application, which are sold
online on the Atlassian Marketplace. All activities of Tempo Ehf., with Diversis
Capital, a US investment fund, as its majority owner, focus on creating and
licensing software for the Jira application. In acquiring the SPV that owns Prime
Timesheet, Tempo Ehf. has picked up its biggest competitor and gained a new
business partner, as the founder of the company is to further participate in
developing Prime Timesheet after the completion of the transaction.
