Head of Commercial, Corporate & M&A Department …
Malack El Masry leads the firm’s Commercial, Corporate, and M&A Department, bringing over 25 years of experience advising on complex corporate transactions across the UAE and the wider MENA region. She has a distinguished track record in mergers and acquisitions, with deep expertise in private M&As, disposals, joint ventures, and corporate reorganizations, particularly within the GCC, with a strong focus on the UAE.
Malack regularly advises investors, selling shareholders, and management teams on private equity and venture capital transactions, including buyouts, growth capital, and exits. Her practice includes cross-border deals, often involving merger control, multi-jurisdictional structuring, and strategic transactions in regulated sectors.
While her primary focus is M&A, she also advises on equity capital markets, including governance aspects of IPOs and public M&As.
Her sector experience spans financial services, healthcare, education, energy (including sustainable energy), logistics, maritime, manufacturing, retail, and more recently, technology.
In addition to transactional work, Malack provides strategic counsel on a broad range of corporate, commercial, property, and employment matters across the region.
