In a market heading toward economic diversification and opening new sectors to investment, private equity and direct investment transactions have become among the most sensitive legal domains in terms of structure and contractual obligations—particularly in unlisted sectors that rely on flexible frameworks and strategic alliances.

 

At Taqneen Law Firm, we provide efficient and tailored legal services including:

• Structuring the legal framework for the transaction, such as the establishment of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), entering into a limited partnership, or executing direct strategic equity acquisitions.
• Negotiating and drafting Shareholders’ Agreements with key provisions including pre-emption rights, drag-along/tag-along rights, minority protections, and clearly defined exit strategies.
• Providing legal advice on regulatory and disclosure obligations, particularly when the target entity operates in a regulated industry such as insurance, finance, or investment consultancy.
• Managing potential disputes between partners by implementing predetermined arbitration or mediation mechanisms, as contractually agreed upon.
• Representing clients in early-stage or expansion-stage investments, both locally and across the GCC, with contracts tailored to meet the requirements of the applicable local laws.

 

We always consider the sensitivity of the relationship between institutional investors and founders, and we draft agreements with legal foresight to protect both parties from future conflict.
