Testimonials 2024/2025  

In respect of the M&A advice they are able to provide advice which works within the agreements they are provided with.  This means that they are able to provide good, efficient advice which keeps the transaction moving forward.  They are responsive and are reliable, which means I am able to commit to timelines with the client and know that they will be met. (M&A) 

The team, led by Adbool Rahim Salehmohamed, is very practical in performing their due diligence review, understanding what is material to the client and what aspects are good to know but are not transaction issues. (M&A) 

Abdool Rahim Salehmohamed is English law qualified and practiced in the UK for a very long time.  Accordingly, his knowledge of English law transactions means he is able to advise very well within a broader M&A workstream.  He is practical and finds solutions which work within a broad transaction structure which is pivotal in keeping momentum up and transactions running smoothly.
