MCI Management chooses Consortio lex in tax case

At the end of July this year, MCI announced a tender to select a legal firm to take the case to court. Having received 32 bids, from both foreign and domestic companies, it made the final choice yesterday. "We had three companies in the short list: Consortio Lex, Wardyński i Wspólnicy and Baker & McKenzie. Their offers were similar and very interesting. The details made the decision. We chose Consortio Lex," said Andrzej Lis, MCI's investment director. The lawyers are now preparing the law suit and evaluating the value which will be demanded from the state. MCI controlled 40.38% of the shares in JTT Computer, for which it paid zł.10.2 million. In June 2004, after the announcement of JTT's bankruptcy, it was forced to sell the assets for zł.45,000.
