High-Stakes Corporate Merger: Overcoming Challenges with a Multinational Client

In 2022, a multinational technology corporation with operations across the Middle East and the United States hired Ahl Al Takhasous to execute a complex and high-stakes merger with a rival in the technology industry. The transaction was valued at 450 million dollars and required cross-border regulatory compliance, due diligence, and coordination of the intellectual property (IP) portfolios of both entities.

Our legal team comprising attorney Saad bin Ibrahim Al-Aboud and his partner Abdullah Al-Denjawi drafted the overall legal strategy to deal with antitrust issues and safeguard proprietary technologies belonging to our client. With continuous negotiation and seamless coordination with international counsel, we were able to achieve regulatory approval before the deal could fall through. This success sustained our client’s leading position in the market and resulted in positive shareholder value. This case illustrates our expertise in Corporate, Mergers & Acquisitions Law and our ability to handle difficult cross-border transactions.

Successfully Mediating Investor-State Disputes: Successful Arbitration Results in Oil & Gas

Ahl Al Takhasous was retained to represent a group of investors in a contractual dispute with a state-owned oil company over exploration and profit sharing in the Gulf region. The dispute, which jeopardized over $200M investments, proceeded to international arbitration.

Under the helm of Ahmed Al-Khawaja, Head of Litigation Department, our team capitalized on in-depth knowledge and understanding of investor-state arbitrations and bilateral investment treaties regimes. We deployed a multi-disciplinary team of experts including oil and gas lawyers, finance and international arbitration lawyers. Through evidence preparation, strategic negotiation and expert representation before the arbitral tribunal, we obtained a favourable award for our client preserving their investment and restoring their right to operate under the agreement. This case demonstrated our expertise in energy law and ability to settle complex investors versus government disputes.

Protecting Intellectual Property: Litigation and Arbitration Defends Global Brand’s Portfolio

A Fortune 500 drug company retained our firm to help enforce its patent portfolio against a competitor’s unlawful activities in the United States. The matter involved complex biotechnological patent issues and needed an aggressive response involving litigation, technical guidance, and communications with regulators.

Our intellectual property team, with help from scientific information technology specialists who have advanced degrees in hard sciences, discovered evidence that proprietary compounds were being used without permission. We commenced rapid legal action and engaged the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to obtain prompt enforcement of our client’s rights. The end result was an injunction that suspended the unlawful activities and obtained a multi-million dollar settlement. This matter involved our expertise in intellectual property, in patents, and in protecting innovations in highly regulated markets.

Resolving Complex Labor Relations Disputes for Global Leader in Healthcare

A prominent health services provider with over 2,000 employees approached us for advice on a series of labour disputes relating to contraventions of contractual entitlements, wage claims and health and workplace safety concerns. Their reputation, in addition to the risk of operational disruption, was at stake.

Led by Saad bin Mohammed Al-Aboud and Mohammed Mohsen, our team reviewed its employment contracts and internal policies in detail. We then drafted a pro-active engagement strategy and acted as a facilitator between management and employee representatives in order to drive successfully towards amicable solutions. Through rounds of negotiation, advocacy and policy reform, we managed to resolve all claims without needing to litigate, successfully maintaining business continuity and restoring employee confidence. The case is evidence of our collective labour law expertise and ability to offer practical solutions even in the most sensitive employment situations.

Maritime Disputes: Protecting Clients’ Interests at Home and Abroad

A global shipping company was engaged in a dispute regarding cargo damage and liability arising out of an incident occurring in international waters. Time was of the essence to avoid significant monetary loss and damage to our client’s commercial relationships. Ahl Al Takhasoush assembled a team with expertise in maritime law, insurance claims, and international trade. The team carried out a swift onsite investigation, preserved important evidence, and entered into negotiations with interest-holders on five different continents. The result of legal argumentation led to a settlement that capped our client’s liability and permitted the continuation of significant shipping routes. This dispute illustrates our ability to handle complex, multijurisdictional maritime and aviation disputes.
