August & Debouzy advises on structuring and completing foreign investments and major infrastructure and facility projects in France and in MENA countries.

We advise our clients (manufacturers, service providers) on the most appropriate investment arrangements given the available possibilities in the legal system in question (acquiring equity interests in existing companies, joint ventures, incorporation of companies in free zones, creation of branches, etc.) and the tax benefits which may be reaped.

We can assist with arranging the investment, negotiating and drafting the documents for the transaction (acquisition, incorporation, concession documents, etc.), formalities with the competent administrative authorities and, depending on the legal system in question, negotiating investment agreements with the state authorities.
