What L/E/I Transactions does

L/E/I Transactions is an international chain of investment boutiques headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, with DACH regional offices in Frankfurt am Main and Füssen, Germany. Founded in 2016 by Aurelia Cieslinska (a certified attorney in Poland and Switzerland with an MBA from the University of Zurich), the firm represents and acts for a set of trusted international funds and private investors seeking exposure to Polish commercial and residential real estate, while simultaneously advising Polish property owners and developers on financing and investment structuring.

The firm's core offerings fall into three interconnected lines: Transaction Advisory Services (pre-due diligence, due diligence, investment/transaction coordination, HoTs and executive-level contract negotiations, and financial modelling); Commercial Real Estate Distressed Assets Acquisitions (focused on hospitality buildings of 100+ rooms, residential buildings, residential and office developments, and distressed office buildings in Poland); and Real Estate Debt Funding (Bridge Loans, Construction Loans, Property Rehab Loans, and Re-development Loans sourced through private-equity-backed and institutional fund capital). There is no proprietary technology platform — the offering is a human-driven, bilingual advisory and intermediation service.

L/E/I monetizes via professional-services fees and transaction-fee arrangements on a quote-based, tailor-made model. Distribution is direct and relationship-led: the firm engages property owners, developers, and commercial real estate agents on the supply side and matches them to its international investor client base. Anna Lepper (majority shareholder, FU Berlin, former tier-1 law firm) runs the DACH franchise from Frankfurt, giving the firm a CEE-asset / DACH-capital bridge positioning that has produced visible milestones such as the March 2021 Dekpol SA PRS transaction and a 2021 EuropaProperty CEE Investment Awards shortlist.
