There is a lingering perception that Rex Attorneys has lost some ground in the market over the past few years. However, this perception is questionable as the firm is still a regular fixture on big ticket deals, mining and oil related especially, and consistent positive feedback pushes it up a tier this year.

One local in-house counsel of a global company recommends the firm "for mining and petroleum; it is the best one stop shop for these". "We have come up against them in a number of deals," says a competitor, "and they deserve to be highly recommended".

In notable M&A mandates, the firm advised Hardy Bowen Mantra Tanzania on its $1 billion sale to ARMZ Uranium Holdings, the largest ever deal in the uranium industry in Tanzania. Aside from the high value and sensitive nature of the deal, the acquisition was done in a highly regulated sector. The firm was also representing one of the parties on the proposed acquisition by Dasos Capital of a majority shareholding in a Tanzanian teak company.

On the financing side, firm advised client Helios Tanzania as it secured syndicated financing from Standard Bank for $105 million. The firm was also advising Helios on an acquisition transaction.
