YOUSIF AL-KALISY

Yousif advises on a broad spectrum of corporate and commercial matters, including cross-border transactions, shareholder arrangements, commercial structuring, and complex contractual frameworks. His work involves drafting, reviewing, and negotiating high-value commercial agreements, advising on regulatory compliance, and structuring transactions to mitigate legal and operational risk.

He has particular experience in shareholder disputes, multi-party commercial negotiations, and corporate governance advisory, often collaborating with tax advisors, consultants, and industry specialists on strategically significant projects. His interdisciplinary approach ensures that legal solutions are not only technically robust but commercially aligned with clients’ broader objectives.

Prior to joining M&CO Legal, Yousif gained litigation experience in New Zealand, working alongside leading criminal and immigration barristers. He was involved in multi-defendant jury trials, procedural strategy, and complex evidentiary analysis. This early exposure to technically demanding and high-pressure litigation environments has shaped his analytical precision and strategic foresight, which now underpin his corporate advisory practice.

His background across common and civil law systems enables him to operate effectively in cross-border environments, providing clients with structured, forward-looking legal solutions in complex transactional and regulatory landscapes.
