General Business Law

Eversheds Sutherland operates in Tunisia through its association with the longstanding El Heni Law Firm. The team wins recognition for its handling of a wide array of corporate matters, including financings, sales and tax matters. The firm has a wealth of experience assisting multinationals with the restructuring of their Tunisian operations and is also noted for its significant regulatory practice. The team often represents public authorities and international financial institutions.

"It is a sterling group to work with on all matters. Even when the lawyers are on holiday, if something comes up and we need them, they are there; they are extremely responsive."

"The team displays rigour, availability, punctuality and attention to detail. It is a serious, organised and modern firm."

Eversheds Sutherland acted for SPE Capital on the audit for the acquisition of a group of textile companies in Tunisia.

Managing partner Farès El Heni moves up the rankings this year and is very experienced in M&A and corporate restructuring. He also assists clients with project finance and employment matters. "We could not have asked for better representation than from Fares. We have enjoyed working with him; he is extremely competent and very attentive to our needs. He is very ethical, fair and patient with our ignorance of the laws of Tunisia. It is a great partnership."
