Energy mergers and acquisitions

Energy sector deals require precision, speed, and regulatory foresight. At Kayrouz & Associates, we support clients through every phase of mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures across the UAE and the wider region.

Practice Overview

Mergers and acquisitions in the energy industry involve more than transactional know-how—they require an in-depth understanding of sector-specific risks, regulatory landscapes, and market dynamics. At Kayrouz & Associates, we advise developers, utility companies, private equity funds, and international investors on complex M&A transactions in the energy sector.

From due diligence to deal execution and post-closing integration, our lawyers guide clients through every step of the process. We ensure that regulatory approvals, foreign ownership restrictions, and compliance with environmental and energy-specific laws are carefully navigated. We are experienced in handling both asset and share sales, project takeovers, and joint venture consolidations.

Our approach is strategic and commercially minded. We balance risk with deal velocity, negotiating terms that reflect the realities of energy operations, future liabilities, and integration challenges. Our cross-disciplinary teams work alongside financial, tax, and technical advisors to provide seamless transaction support.

We also assist with ongoing corporate governance, post-deal compliance, and restructuring, helping clients derive long-term value from their energy investments.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Legal due diligence and regulatory risk analysis
  • Structuring local and cross-border transactions
  • Drafting and negotiation of SPAs, JV agreements, and transition arrangements
  • Merger approvals and regulatory filings
  • Post-acquisition compliance and integration support
  • Transactional support in renewables, oil & gas, utilities, and clean energy deals
