How we can assist you
M&A – Corporate
Navigating mergers and acquisitions requires expertise and strategic foresight. At MK Partners, we provide end-to-end support for joint-ventures, divestitures, and restructurings, guiding our clients through internal and external growth strategies. From the early stages of drafting letters of intent (LOI) and memorandums of understanding (MOU) to conducting comprehensive legal audits during due diligence, we ensure each step of the transaction is meticulously managed. We work closely with businesses across Morocco, the Maghreb, and Sub-Saharan Africa, offering insights that lead to smooth and compliant transactions.
Our approach emphasizes seamless corporate governance and innovative partnership structuring, drafting and negotiating essential documents such as share purchase agreements (SPA) and shareholder agreements (SHA), ensuring that every phase of the deal aligns with both local and international regulations. By doing so, we help clients achieve sustainable growth and long-term success.
