Ranking Table

Corporate/M&A

This broad category covers both public company and private equity matters, with the focus being on high-value transactional work such as acquisitions and dispositions. Large-scale joint ventures are acceptable here, while medium and small-sized joint venture work should be submitted under UAE Commercial Contracts. Note that for the UAE, commercial contracts work, such as the negotiation of distribution, supply, maintenance, licensing and agency agreements does not fall under this category but should instead be included on submissions for UAE Commercial Contracts.
