Mergers and Acquisitions
We act on acquisitions, mergers, share sales and joint ventures for strategic and financial investors, selling shareholders and target companies, within the UAE and cross-border.
A transaction usually opens with a memorandum of understanding or letter of intent, followed by legal due diligence, which shapes the terms of the deal. We then negotiate the sale and purchase agreement, draft the representations, warranties and indemnities, and manage the conditions precedent through to completion and transfer of title.
After completion, we set the relationship between the shareholders through shareholders’ agreements and management arrangements, and restructure the group where the transaction calls for it.
