ADSERO advises acquirers, sellers, financial sponsors, and sovereign and strategic investors on public and private transactions involving Egyptian businesses. We also advise groups and their shareholders on reorganising how those businesses are owned, held and run. Our partners and team have executed more than 300 transactions across more than 30 countries. The practice is ranked Tier 1 by leading ranking directories.
We are an independent Egyptian firm. This allows us to act as Egyptian counsel alongside whichever international firm our clients choose. We regularly work with leading UK, US and Gulf firms on cross-border matters, without the constraints that come with network membership.
In Egypt, the path to closing transactions runs through the regulators as much as through the negotiating table. Our experience with the authorities that review Egyptian transactions allows us to plan for approvals from the outset, so that transactions close on time and as agreed.
Restructuring follows the same discipline. Whether a group is preparing for investment or exit, consolidating subsidiaries, separating a business line, or moving to an offshore holding structure, we design the steps so that each corporate, regulatory and contractual approval is in place before it is needed. We work alongside our clients' tax advisers so that the structure is coherent from every angle.
Private M&A: acquisitions, disposals and carve-outs, on both the buy side and the sell side
Public M&A: mandatory and voluntary tender offers, delistings, and transactions involving EGX-listed companies

Joint ventures and strategic partnerships
