Moscow, Russia, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Atomic Capital acted as exclusive financial adviser in the successful sale of 100% of UFirst, a prominent operator in the Russian children’s education sector. UFirst, formerly part of the international education group English First (EF), was subsequently acquired and developed by its management team.

Atomic Capital possesses deep experience and expertise in supporting sophisticated deals with the involvement of international companies, representing both buyers and sellers. The company assists clients in entering or exiting the Russian market, helps refine entry and exit strategies, and provides end-to-end financial and legal advisory throughout every phase of the deal, ensuring transparency and operational efficiency.
