PRACTICE AREAS

Corporate and M&A

The transactional activity of our lawyers is one of the areas in which our legal culture is best demonstrated, particularly in the planning of complex operations, at the stage of strategic reflection or project structuring. It allows us in the often, delicate reconciliation of our clients’ objectives with the particular consideration for each individual case, whether they concern competition, HR, media or political issues. Our multi-national culture (Egyptian-European) has always given us full latitude in the management of negotiations, be they contractual or with Egyptian administrative authorities. While we have a full understanding of the Egyptian market practices, we do not hesitate to put these methods into question, if necessary, in terms of our clients’ interest with regard to a particular deal.

Our Corporate-M&A practice includes all the skills required to manage deals, which mark the development of a corporation (contributions, mergers, divestitures, restructurings and debt financing), the establishment of organisational rules for listed and non-listed companies, whether between shareholders (shareholders’ agreements) or internally (good governance charters). We represent some of the most successful international businesses across a broad range of industry sectors, from manufacturing to retail, food and beverages to packing, construction to energy, hospitality to tourism, and technology to logistics.

We establish all types of companies including limited liability companies (LLC), joint stock company (S.A.E.), foreign branches, representative offices, and scientific offices. Further, we arrange for official licenses such as manufacturer license, tourism license, hotel license and import or export licenses.
