K&A advised the sellers in the sale of a 60% stake of Byrne Equipment Rental to GFH Financial Group, a leading GCC-headquartered investment group based in Bahrain.

Byrne is one of the GCC’s leading industrial services and equipment rental platforms, operating a fleet of approximately 16,000 units across the Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, and Bahrain. The business serves more than 1,100 blue-chip clients across key sectors including oil & gas, construction, utilities and events.

The transaction was led by Partner Omar Iqbal and Senior Associate Neil Williams, with support from Associate Nabeel Sarwar. The deal was completed on an accelerated timetable and involved complex multi-jurisdictional mechanics across different jurisdictions.

This transaction further reinforces K&A’s position as a leading adviser on complex cross-border M&A transactions in the region. It follows the firm’s recent recognition as Regional Law Firm of the Year at The Law Middle East Awards, reflecting K&A’s continued role in advising on high-profile and strategically significant transactions across the wider GCC.
