Mergers and Acquisitions Advice

Our attorneys advise acquisition groups, minority shareholders, and financiers in relation to mergers or consolidations under the Offshore zones merger law regime and in respect of mergers and acquisitions generally of the Offshore zones corporate vehicles, including merger takeovers, and take-privates of listed Offshore zones incorporated entities.
