Private Equity
Afridi & Angell's private equity team advises investors, banks, management teams, corporates and venture backed businesses on a full range of private equity transactions as well as venture capital and including representation of domestic and offshore investment funds (including country funds) and advisors.
We assist our clients by designing solutions that can accommodate regulatory change with the minimum of interference with their business. In order to complement our Corporate & Commercial Division we offer a specialist funds practice with experience in real estate funds and private equity.
It is known worldwide that the Gulf countries offer dynamic opportunities for raising funds. However, the Gulf countries also offer unique obstacles to private equity players. Creative thinking is required to find a good deal. Structuring deals where only a minority stake in a family controlled firm is available is complicated, while opportunities for exiting the deal are limited.
Our knowledge of the private equity industry in the region is fully reflected in our innovative approach and capability to deliver commercial opportunities to our private equity clients.
