Deal Support
M&A Advisory
Buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory for cross-border transactions involving Iranian companies and assets.
Cross-border M&A involving Iran has a narrow pool of advisers who genuinely understand both sides of the table. We act for foreign buyers acquiring Iranian targets, Iranian shareholders selling to international acquirers, and groups carving out non-core Iranian operations. Every mandate is run with a sanctions-screening overlay and a clear path to capital repatriation.

M&A in detail
Make the purchase price conditional on verified economics
A share acquisition and an asset purchase can transfer different liabilities, licences, workforce obligations and tax exposures. Compare these consequences before signing exclusivity or assuming that the headline valuation is the amount payable at closing. Build a closing checklist covering permissions, ownership screening, funds availability and settlement acceptance. Completion accounts, debt adjustments, warranties and holdbacks should address actual findings rather than copy a standard international template.
