The Gulf Cooperation Council nations are seeing a change and sophistication in their M&A sector. The industry-leading M&A team at العجالين | Al-Ajaleen offers specialized guidance to guarantee that transactions are successfully conducted and implemented.
We work on local and cross-border commercial, strategic, government, and investor M&A transactions, and we have managed many of the region’s most important public and private M&A transactions to date.

The Gulf Cooperation Council nations have grown more complex over the years, especially in the areas of antitrust, competition, ESG, and tax. Our experienced, trusted advisers help in bridging the often-delicate gap that exists between business and government.
We regularly assist clients in their business and regulatory choices as part of our consistent relationship with government and authorities throughout the Gulf region.
We assist our clients in the full cycle of M&A — from strategy, planning, execution, and post-deal integration — as well as early phases of due diligence on key steps to ensure successful completion.
Our comprehensive experience covers high-value M&A transactions throughout the GCC and the larger MENA area. Our deep understanding of the regulatory and operational space enables us to deliver practical, commercially sound, and successful deal outcomes.
Our experienced M&A lawyers operate across a wide range of clients in several sectors, and as a business, we have major sector groupings. This enables us to provide sector-specific guidance in a practical and problem-free manner.
