Leading international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has advised HP on its acquisition of Atos Origin Middle East group, ('AOME'), one of the Middle East's leading systems integrators, to broaden its consulting and integration capacity in the region. The transaction closed on Monday 5 November.
The acquisition is expected to deliver three key strategic assets to HP: enhancement of the company’s SAP capabilities in the Middle East; reinforcement of HP’s expertise in two key market segments – the public sector and oil and gas; and the extension of HP’s geographic presence into Libya and Qatar.
Bruce Embley, the corporate partner in Dubai who led the team said, 'We are delighted to have assisted HP on this important acquisition in the Middle East.'
The Freshfields team included associates Jan Hards, Zoe Blakemore and Fares Al-Hejailan. HP's internal legal team on the deal was led by Sergio Letelier. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
