Law & Arbitration Centre provides legal services to companies undergoing the Mergers and Acquisitions process, with extensive experience assisting companies from the Middle East in acquiring companies in other parts of the world, as well as when Middle Eastern companies are the subject of a merger or acquisition. Mergers and Acquisitions encompass several very different processes during which two companies merge into a new entity or one company acquires and adds other companies to its portfolio.
Whether your company is the subject of an acquisition offer from a Middle Eastern company or you plan a Mergers and Acquisitions transaction targeting a company from the Gulf region, you will need legal assistance from professionals familiar with the laws of the Gulf countries.
The Mergers and Acquisitions process begins and ends with detailed contracts, along with specific agreements covering the period between the start and completion of M&A. Additionally, it is necessary to obtain the required permits and review numerous documents before finalizing the agreement. This process protects both parties involved, which is especially important for larger companies that need to safeguard themselves against the risks associated with assuming the obligations of the target company.
Law & Arbitration Centre can be involved in the entire process including, without limitation, structuring the transaction; drafting and arranging preliminary agreements with the seller such as a confidentiality agreement, non-binding heads of terms or letter of intent; setting up a data room, carrying out the necessary due diligence while taking into consideration specific requirements such as competition, employees, domain names, environmental, intellectual property rights and any other specific requirements depending on the business; negotiating key transaction documents including any other ancillary documents; and completing the acquisition.
