Hassan Radhi & Associates was established in Manama in 1974. The firm has been a long-standing fixture in Tier 1 and is widely considered one of the top offices for all domestic corporate finance work. Partner Noora Janahi has a stellar reputation in the market, working alongside partner Noor Radhi, who leads many of the firm’s deals. The firm, which also has a team based in Muscat, Oman, covers the whole spectrum of corporate finance, from bank lending, project development and financing to capital markets and M&A.
Highlights
Recent examples of the firm’s deal work include advising Solidarity Bahrain on its acquisition of conventional insurance service provider Al-Hilal Life. The team guided the client through the bidding process, all the way into the post-merger regulatory aspects. The deal required expertise in insurance regulations, Sharia’ compliant instruments and transactional M&A. In the debt capital markets, Hassan Radhi & Associates worked alongside a UK magic circle firm to advise the joint global coordinators on Nogaholding’s update of its sukuk programme. The deal is representative of the steady stream of sophisticated capital markets mandates it receives from Bahrain’s biggest issuers.
