Schoenherr has advised BlackPeak Capital and Catalyst Romania Fund II on a EUR 10 million Series B funding for Leanpay.

Leanpay is a Slovenia-based pioneering Buy Now Pay Later and Point-of-Sale lending platform. According to Schoenherr, "this investment, led by BlackPeak Capital and co-led by Catalyst Romania Fund II, aims to support Leanpay's plans to become the digital consumer lending champion in the Central and Eastern European region."

BlackPeak Capital is a private equity firm focused on investing in growth equity in Southeast Europe. Currently, it manages two funds with total assets under management of EUR 150 million. Catalyst Romania is a venture capital investor in Romanian technology companies with the potential to become regional leaders or global challengers.

In 2022, Schoenherr advised Blackpeak Capital on its EUR 7.5 million equity investment into EUShipments.com and its subsidiary InOut Trade (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on April 12, 2022).

The Schoenherr team was led by Romania-based Partner Madalina Neagu and included Croatia-based Partner Vice Mandaric, Hungary-based Partners Gabor Pazsitka and Kinga Hetenyi and Attorney at Law Miklos Klenanc, Romania-based Managing Attorneys at Law Andrei Muresan and Mihaela Popescu, Slovenia-based Office Managing Partner Vid Kobe, Partners Peter Gorse and Marko Frantar, Attorney at Law Manja Hubman, Senior Associates Tilen Zagar and Hana Serbec, and Associates Miriam Gajsek and Borce Malijanski, and Serbia-based Partner Igor Zivkovski and Attorney at Law Bojan Rajic.
