Our work in the merger and acquisition speaks for itself. Merger and acquisition is a transaction where the ownership of companies or other business organizations is transferred or combined. In this regard, our work starts from the conduction of the due diligences, including the examination of all the documents owned by the company, the drafting of the definitive agreements and the implementation of these agreements. Our previous work in this regard, includes I&D acting as the Egyptian counsel to a major international market player in the cement industry on its multibillion US Dollar acquisition of 100% of the shares of an Egyptian cement company, which is considered the biggest transaction in the history of the Egyptian stock exchange.
The firm was involved in the most significant cross-border deals that had occurred in strategic industries in Egypt. A sample of those deals includes:
• Construction: As local counsel, I&D represented a major cement operator in what remains the largest merger and acquisition in the history of Egypt. The deal was worth US $15 billion
• Energy: I&D restructured the Egyptian operations related to the merger of what is currently the largest energy company in the world. This included the setting up of innovative legal procedures which were innovative and remain a model in the area of merger and acquisition. Since then, I&D remain closely connected with the operation of this large entity.
• Food & Beverage: I&D represented a major US food company in its acquisition of the remaining 49% shares of an Egyptian subsidiary owned by a Kuwaiti company.
• Pharmaceutical: I&D advised and represented Alkan Holding in the sale of Alkan Pharma to Hikma PLC.
