A big thank you to everyone who joined us at ASAR’s InFocus round table session on mitigating risks arising under Share Purchase Agreements.

The session was facilitated by ASAR - Al Ruwayeh & Partners M&A partners Ezekiel Tuma and Ibrahim Sattout in collaboration with Nirav Modi and Luke S. of Marsh Middle East and Africa.

We covered extensive ground — from common liability traps arising under share purchase agreements to practical risk mitigation techniques. The exchange of ideas was sharp and focused.

We are grateful to the Marsh team for walking us through how transactional risk insurance products can support deal certainty, facilitate negotiations and assist parties to manage their risks and exposures.

We also appreciate the remarkable engagement from attendees drawn from investment companies, advisory firms, family offices, oil sector companies, manufacturers and start-ups. The Q&A session delivered several strong takeaways, which will be fundamental building blocks for future deals.
