Mergers & Acquisitions
Our M&A team works alongside specialists in tax, regulatory, foreign investment, capital markets, and employment to provide coordinated advice across the full transaction lifecycle. This includes structuring, corporate governance, transaction documentation, due diligence, warranties and indemnities, financing arrangements, and employment, environmental, and regulatory matters.
Due diligence scope is calibrated to each transaction rather than applied uniformly, reflecting the firm's experience on some of Kuwait's largest corporate transactions.
We advised Kuwait Finance House on its acquisition and merger with Ahli United Bank, the largest banking merger in Kuwait's history, and on the Warba Bank and Gulf Bank merger, involving combined assets exceeding USD 42.5 billion. We also advised on the ALAFCO and Macquarie asset sale, valued at USD 3.3 billion. Our mandates extend to mandatory acquisition proceedings regulated by the Capital Markets Authority and corporate M&A transactions across financial services, energy, real estate, and technology, with lawyers guiding clients through their legal and compliance obligations at every stage.
