Privatization

Pakistan has an active privatisation market and Haidermota & Co. enjoys being one of the pioneers in the privatization market in Pakistan.

In the last two decades, Haidermota & Co. has advised on numerous successfully concluded privatisations representing the seller and the buyer. Key areas in which the Firm has advised include: banking, oil and gas, energy, telecom, aviation, fertilizer, real estate and textiles.

The work carried out by Haidermota & Co. in privatisation deals has given the Firm an in-depth knowledge not only of the process of privatisation and its governing laws and regulations, but also of each sector as a whole. These transactions entail extensive legal due diligence on the entity being sold and the sector of operations – the Firm has successfully met challenging timelines set by the Government in privatizations of such nature.

Our Senior Partner, M. Umar Shereef, was previously the senior consultant to the Government of Pakistan, Privatization Commission and played an instrumental role in the drafting of the Privatization laws, rules and regulations. During his tenure at the Privatization Commission, the privatization program reached its pinnacle.
