Samaha & Co.

For investors and operators

Opportunities, properly assessed.

For investors and operators pursuing value in Lebanon and the region — including business and real estate opportunities with a long horizon — assessed on fundamentals, structured, and verified on the ground.

Opportunities in Lebanon

Long-term opportunities

Business and real estate opportunities across sectors — logistics, infrastructure, technology, tourism, and real estate — where structural change supports value over a long horizon.

Matched to the client

Each opportunity is weighed against the client's objectives, time horizon, and appetite for risk.

Assessed before acted on

Each opportunity is tested on its fundamentals — what must hold for it to work — before any capital is committed.

Finding and assessing

Opportunity sourcing

Identifying undervalued or high-growth positions against a defined thesis.

Due diligence

Financial, valuation, title, and counterparty review.

Structuring and entry

Deal and entity structuring

Operating company, holding company, and trust arrangements, coordinated with legal and tax specialists.

Capital flow

How capital enters and how returns are taken out — structured and documented to bank standard.

Alongside the investor

Negotiation and deal strategy

Leverage, terms, and structure, on the principal's side of the table.

Representation and oversight

On-the-ground verification through and after a transaction.

For family offices

Independent second opinion

A conflict-free reading of a mandate, a manager, or a product being proposed.

Representative matters

An acquisition, underwritten

Before an acquisition in Lebanon, we reviewed the financials, the valuation, and the counterparty, and set out the structure for entry.

A second opinion

A family office was being offered a mandate by a private bank. We read it independently — the terms, the costs, and the conflicts — with nothing to sell.

Capital, structured in

For an investor entering from abroad, we set out how capital would enter and how returns would be taken out, documented to bank standard.

A long-horizon position

An investor was weighing a Lebanese opportunity tied to regional development. We set out the fundamentals, the timeline, and what would have to hold for it to work, and structured a measured entry.

Representative of the matters the practice handles. Details are composite; no client is identified.
