You will need high-level legal consultancy when it comes to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Egypt. However, you must ensure that the cost of this consultancy supports your business growth. Sadany & Partners Law Firm offers affordable services in the field of M&A, focusing on combining legal expertise, transparent pricing, and strategic value to support your business plans.

Importance of M&A affordable legal services

M&A transactions often involve high initial and final costs, including due diligence, regulatory requirements, documentation, approvals, integration, and post-deal compliance. Therefore, without careful legal planning, you may experience the following:

  • Unexpected legal fees.
  • Delays may lead to higher consultancy costs.
  • Hidden obligations increase the total cost of ownership.
  • Inefficient structures increase tax costs and regulatory burdens.

Partnering with a law firm that focuses on providing cost-effective M&A services ensures that your legal expenses are commensurate with the size and complexity of the transaction - unleashing your true growth potential without compromising legal security.

The Egyptian M&A Market – What You Need to Know

Egypt continues to be an attractive market for M&A, supported by reforms and investor incentives:

  • The Companies Law 159 of 1981 (and its Executive Regulations) regulates corporate transactions, including M&A.
  • Investment Law 72 of 2017 supports foreign investment, joint ventures, and innovative transaction structures.
  • Recent commentary suggests that private M&A transactions in Egypt should take into account tax implications, regulatory compliance, and structuring options.

In such an environment, affordable legal support for M&A transactions provides a smart balance between cost, speed and risk mitigation.

Example – Affordable M&A transactions in progress

An Egyptian technology start-up wanted to merge with a smaller local competitor to expand its operations. The budget restrictions were considerable.

Our Methodology:

  1. We advised the client to use a share purchase structure to save on registration and transfer costs.
  2. We selected our basic support package, focusing on contracts and regulatory registration.
  3. We conducted a thorough review to identify only the key risks (intellectual property rights, employee rights).
  4. We drafted the sale and purchase agreement and accompanying agreements in two languages.
  5. We drafted a bilingual sales and purchase agreement and its accompanying agreements.

Outcome: The transaction was closed on schedule, while keeping legal costs reasonable, and the client gained a commercial advantage from the merger without the burden of significant legal expenditure.
