Corporate & Finance

With a solid standing, Obeid & Partners not only has expertise in dispute resolution but also a high stature in both commercial and financial transactions.  Over the past decade, we have been actively involved in key transactional matters in Lebanon and beyond.  With the benefit of a strong track record in corporate and commercial disputes, we have extensive knowledge of the broader issues at stake in both mainstream and bespoke Corporate and Commercial M&A deals. Recognised for its commitment to excellence and its expertise in Middle Eastern legislations, the firm has solidly established itself as a first-class full service law firm with a highly specialised offering in Corporate & Commercial and M&A. The firm’s Corporate and Commercial practice is co-headed by Marie Hayek, who is counsel in the firm.  Ms. Hayek, who also co-heads the firm’s banking and finance practice (see separate submission), was formerly General Counsel of the Banque Française de l’Orient in Paris (Groupe Crédit Agricole Indosuez) and prior to that, head of the legal branch of Bank Saradar in Paris.  Ms. Hayek and her team work closely with the DR practice on insolvency litigation matters and M&A disputes.
