Case Studies

Debt Equity Swap

In this multimillion dollar transaction, Ntrakwah and Co.’s team counseled a multi-million dollar American supplier. The client,had provided funding to other parties, who were to eventually enter into a joint venture with the client. The parties defaulted in their repayment, and the joint venture agreement never became a reality. The team drafted the relevant documentation, including shareholders agreements, promissory notes, and joint venture agreements.

Acquisition of Shares

Ntrakwah and Co.’s team of Felix Ntrakwah, Kwadwo Gyasi Ntrakwah, and Abena Ntrakwah-Mensah helped in the acquisition of their client, a business that acquires and disposes of properties, by another real estate company. In their role of the $5 million deal, the team advised on the transaction itself and prepared and reviewed all the necessary legal documents for the sale of the shares.
