Capital Markets & Privatisation
Clients come to us because we really understand the equity markets in the region, helping them to spot any potential issues early, negotiate through the process and get to a quicker and better result.
The firm advises major corporates, local authorities and financial institutions, including various governments and investment banks on capital markets structure, products and transactions and the regulations for participating in those markets under securities, banking and other laws.
Afridi & Angell also acts for investors, creditors and privatising agencies in privatisation transactions ranging from operating agreements, concession arrangements and other types of private sector participation to divestment by public entities of assets of an existing public work through equity offerings or negotiated sales.
These transactions often require the full scope of the firm's experience in joint ventures, securities offerings and cross-border financings.
