Founding partner Aziz Torbey heads Aziz Torbey Law Firm’s banking and finance practice. In July 2010 the name partner acted for Société Industrielle Folda in securing a $5.5 million bridge loan within 48 hours from three local banks which the industrial manufacturer urgently needed to acquire a new business property after its previous building collapsed.
Corporate head Ramy Torbey acted for Capital Investment Holding Company on two notable deals. The first saw the practice head lead a team from the firm to advise the private equity firm on the sale of a controlling stake in Crédit Libanais to EFG Hermes for $542 million in November 2010. The deal includes a $210 million option to purchase an additional 25.2% stake in the bank and marked the biggest acquisition so far in the country.
The second matter saw Torbey advise on the $36 million acquisition of a real estate company, which owns and manages a commercial tower in Beirut, in the same month.
