完整简历

Amalia Lui has over 14 years of legal experience, focusing on M&A, mining, energy and corporate transactions. Amalia has extensive experience advising on projects both within and outside of Tanzania, as well as significant experience with cross-border transactions. As an M&A lawyer, Amalia has led and advised on large acquisitions both within and outside of Tanzania, assisting in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, and providing ongoing support post-closing. As an M&A lawyer, Amalia becomes deeply involved in the transactions from the onset, i.e. in negotiations by assisting parties to navigate the key issues, align an understanding, achieve the desired targets, review of the transaction documents, secure regulatory approvals, which includes organising meetings with regulatory authorities with the intention of ensuring there are swift approvals and finally assisting with the closing obligations and CPs satisfaction. On cross border transactions, Amalia has recently advised on multiple cross-border transactions in neighbouring African countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Mauritius. Her ability to analyse and break down M&A transactions, as well as provide support to merging parties, is unparalleled, and she has extensive experience working with local counsel on cross-border transactions. Amalia's experience extends beyond mergers and acquisitions to the mining sector and corporate support. She works very closely with our mining clients and assists in negotiations with the Government Authorities, navigating the framework and shareholders agreements, advising on the regulatory aspects and local content to ensure strict compliance and provides overall support to our client’s teams. She is useful because she can view transactions from a commercial perspective and align that with a legal perspective for the benefit of the client, allowing us to achieve our clients' commercial goals without losing sight of their legal obligations. Overall, Amalia is an important member of our legal team, and our clients value her input. Finally, it is worth noting that Amalia participates in other social support projects that benefit marginalized and impoverished women and children. She runs an NGO that focuses solely on orphans and marginalized children, and she plans to provide similar support to young women in order for them to gain access to training, education, and overall self-sufficiency.

Amalia has been recognised in the Legal 500 Private Practice Powerlist 2024 for M&A in Africa.
