Where Knowledge Becomes Confidence
- ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The Full Transaction Lifecycle
Private company acquisitions and sales require more than legal knowledge — they demand strategic structuring, risk assessment, and effective negotiation. This intensive five-day programme follows the complete lifecycle of a private transaction, from initial planning through completion and post-closing risk management.
The programme is highly practical and transaction-focused. Participants work through a continuous deal scenario across the five days, analysing risks, negotiating key clauses, and making strategic decisions at each stage.

- WHAT THE PAST DELEGATES SAY
Results that speak for themselves
"Within a week of the programme, I renegotiated a limitation clause in a cross-border supply contract. I would not have caught the issue before."
Senior Associate · International law firm, Dubai
"The programme gave me a practical framework I still use for every English law transaction. Elahe makes complex concepts genuinely clear."
Partner · Commercial law firm, Amman
"For the first time, I understood why English courts ruled the way they did — not just what the rule was. That changed how I advise clients entirely."
In-house Counsel · Multinational corporation, Riyadh
"I came expecting theory. I left with a restructured approach to how I handle dispute clauses and IP assignments. Immediately applicable."

- YOUR PRESENTER
Elahe Ghazinoori — the person who built this programme around the gaps she saw lawyers actually face
Non-Practising Solicitor. Founder and Principal Presenter at EMG Associates. Over 20 years spent in professional legal training — not lecturing from textbooks, but working directly with civil law and common law lawyers on real transactions and disputes.
She's watched smart, experienced lawyers get tripped up by English law assumptions they didn't know they were making. This programme exists because those gaps are predictable — and fixable.
