What do corporate lawyers do during a merger or acquisition?

They protect the buyer's or seller's position at every stage of the deal. That includes due diligence on the target, structuring the transaction, negotiating terms, drafting the transaction documents and protecting shareholder interests through to closing. All of it serves one decision: the board or shareholders approving the deal know exactly what they are buying, and on what terms.

When should a company get corporate governance advice?

A company needs it the moment nobody can say with confidence who decides what — which matters the board can settle, which need shareholder approval, and by what process. Governance advice covers board duties, shareholder rights, decision-making, governance policies, internal controls and compliance. Many governance disputes trace back to rules that were never written down or never followed.

Can a lawyer review a loan or refinancing before we sign?

Yes, and the review is most useful before terms are fixed. We examine the loan structure, repayment terms, security arrangements and the contractual obligations that follow the money, and compare refinancing options where existing debt no longer suits the business. The review also confirms who has authority to sign, because whoever signs commits the whole company.

What does a legal and financial audit of a company cover?

It examines the company's contracts, liabilities, compliance position, financial records, risks, governance and business obligations. Clients commission one before buying or investing in a business, and owners commission one on their own companies to find problems while they are still small. The result is a clear picture of what the company actually holds and owes.

Corporate Services

Every corporate transaction ultimately comes down to a decision — and to whether the people taking it had the authority to bind the company. Our corporate lawyers in Dubai act for shareholders, boards and investors on mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, financing and refinancing arrangements, and legal and financial audits.

The work runs from due diligence and deal structuring through negotiation and transaction documents to closing; on the governance side it covers board duties, shareholder rights, decision-making, internal controls and compliance — so the arrangements a business relies on are written down, enforceable and understood before they are needed.
