Arnold MacEbong advises clients on a full range of corporate transactions including mergers and acquisitions, emerging growth and venture capital transactions, corporate restructurings, and corporate governance.
Arnold’s practice focuses on mergers and acquisitions, specifically representing strategic and financial buyers and sellers in domestic and cross-border mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, investments, and joint ventures. He advises clients on all aspects of these transactions, including the drafting and negotiation of transaction documents, overseeing due diligence investigations, advising on legal and business issues, and coordinating deal teams. His emerging growth and venture capital experience includes representing emerging companies on issues through their life cycle, from initial planning and formation to exit, and venture capital and private equity firms on issues relating to financing, acquiring, or merging with those emerging growth companies. Arnold’s corporate restructuring experience includes assisting clients with complex restructuring and integration transactions, including assisting large multinationals on the planning and implementation of multi-jurisdictional transactions such as pre-acquisition planning, post-acquisition integration, acquisitions and reorganizations, divestiture restructurings and spin-offs.
Educated, licensed to practice, and experienced across several continents, Arnold brings his international background and network of contacts to bear when advising on transactions with a cross-border element. Before moving his practice to the United States, he worked at two of Africa's leading law firms where he advised on a broad spectrum of complex local and cross border transactions. He is a pioneer member of the DLA Piper US-Africa Practice.
