What to Look for in a Mergers and Acquisitions Firm in East Africa

The complexity of corporate transactions in East Africa has significantly increased in the last ten years. The cross-border investment, private equity investment and sector consolidation from financial services to telecommunications have resulted in a constant demand for legal advisors who are not only technically skilled in the mechanics of a transaction, but also knowledgeable of the regulatory landscape in which the transaction must close.

Why Legal Expertise Is Central to M&A Success

The best Mergers and Acquisitions Firm will not just peruse the transaction documents. It frames the deal from the beginning in a manner that safeguards its client's interests, thinks ahead for regulatory challenges, and ensures the financing structure will withstand the scrutiny of both parties at the table. In markets such as Kenya, where the requirements of the Capital Markets Authority, the competition law thresholds and cross-border tax considerations all converge, such integrated legal thinking is not an option.

The Full Scope of Corporate Finance Advisory

In complex M&A deals, debt and equity financing, syndicated loan arrangements, convertible instruments, and offshore structuring are common features that accompany the M&A transaction. A company that can counsel efficiently in all these areas in one sitting can't be beat.
