Corporate/M&A

This section covers the full gamut of transactional M&A matters, as is the norm in other Corporate/M&A sections across the Chambers guides. The greatest credit is given to transactional matters such as company acquisitions and dispositions. However, the section also encompasses entity formation, operating and partnership agreements, and corporate governance matters. For the South Africa Corporate/M&A table, law firms’ expertise in black economic empowerment (BEE) initiatives is also relevant. Note that private equity buyouts should be submitted under South Africa Private Equity.
