UAE transactions move quickly, involve multiple jurisdictions and have little tolerance for surprises.
We support promoters, family groups, corporates and investors across the full deal lifecycle, from the first financial review to the signed documents, working alongside your legal counsel and bankers as the financial and commercial advisor on the deal.
Diligence and Valuation
Due Diligence (Buy-Side and Sell-Side)
Buy-side reviews focused on the items that move price: quality of earnings, normalised EBITDA, working capital, debt-like items, related-party arrangements and tax exposures: plus vendor due diligence and data room preparation on the sell-side.
Business Valuation and Financial Modelling
Independent valuations using DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions and asset-based approaches for negotiation, ESOP grants, mergers, demergers and regulatory filings, with integrated three-statement models and scenario analysis built to be used.
Capital and Negotiation
Corporate Finance Advisory
Advisory on capital structure and fund-raise strategy across private equity, venture capital, term debt, mezzanine, family office capital and management buy-outs: preparing investor materials and coordinating with licensed arrangers under SCA, DFSA or FSRA rules.
Negotiation Strategy Design
A deal-specific playbook covering value drivers, deal-breakers, the counterparty’s likely positions, alternative structures tested against tax and execution risk, and the financial impact of each likely concession: worked through before terms are tabled.
Active Negotiation Assistance
Sitting with management through the negotiation, in the room or as the analytical back-channel: pre-meeting briefings, counter-proposals drafted on the spot, live financial modelling, and a read on when to push and when to settle.
Documentation and Execution
Documentation Review and Alignment
Reviewing long-form documents: term sheets, shareholder and share purchase agreements and key commercial contracts: against the negotiated position, with particular attention to representations and warranties, indemnity caps, conditions precedent, earn-outs and exit waterfalls.
End-to-End Transaction Handling
Project-managing the full lifecycle: virtual data room set-up, advisor and counsel coordination, milestone and conditions-precedent tracking, closing mechanics and post-signing follow-through, so management can keep running the business while the deal runs in parallel.
How We Work
Partner-led on every engagement, with senior transaction professionals across the UAE, India and international markets. Senior in the room, not delegated downward.
