M&A counsel in Dubai
Buying, selling, investing or exiting — a deal is a machine with many failure points: the structure, the diligence, the SPA, the approvals, the completion mechanics. Neo Legal runs the whole machine, led by Founding Partner Levent Shevki with 17+ years across M&A, financial services and capital raisings.
What we do for you
- Acquisitions & disposals — structure, due diligence, SPA negotiation, approvals and completion, on either side of the table.
- Price structuring — earn-outs, deferred consideration, escrows and security.
- Private equity & venture — holdco structures, term sheets, preference stacks, ESOPs and SAFEs for founders and funds.
- Sector M&A — regulated targets including financial services, sports clubs and licensed businesses, with the regulatory clearances run inside the deal team.
- Capital markets — IPO and listing routes, readiness programmes and private placements.
- Shareholder arrangements — JVs, shareholders' agreements, exits and disputes prevention.
How we run a deal
Structure first — share or asset, decided by diligence, not habit. Diligence as a decision tool — red flags reported with a treatment each: price, indemnity, condition or walk. Documents that match the findings — warranty suites calibrated to what diligence showed, indemnities with real security. Approvals mapped in week one — regulator, competition and registrar timelines set the calendar, so we start them early.
Why Neo Legal for M&A
Boutique speed with institutional depth: partner-led execution from our M&A practice, tax and regulatory answered in-house, cross-border workstreams run through Cornwalls (established 1891) rather than referral chains, and Mandarin-language service for Chinese acquirers through the China Desk.
