Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Alpha Bank on the acquisition of Cepal, a Greek specialist loan servicing businesses, as part of Project Galaxy through which Alpha Bank will implement its NPE deleveraging acceleration plan.

Cepal will service the Galaxy securitizations, Alpha Bank's remaining NPEs as well as portfolios owned by international investors.

As part of the transaction, Alpha Bank may subsequently dispose up to 100 percent of Cepal's shares to international investors, creating the largest and most scalable independent servicer in the Greek market.
