About

Marubeni Middle East & Africa Power (MAMEA) was set up by the Marubeni Corporation, based in Japan, to assist with the development of all major independent projects in the Middle East and Africa regions. The company focuses on power generation projects ranging from a diverse range of sources such as traditional thermal options to renewable technologies while also dealing with a numerous amount of other sectors across the map. The MAMEA legal division based in Dubai, headed by chief legal officer Peter Horvath, provides legal support to the development units based in Tokyo, Dubai, Dusseldorf, Johannesburg and London who oversee the construction and financing of projects in the Middle East and Africa regions. Dealing across multiple jurisdictions the legal team works hand-in-hand with both technical and commercial teams while also instructing international and local external legal counsels. Marubeni has been expanding its presence overseas and the legal team has played a crucial role ensuring that all M&A deals go accordingly while complying with local laws. The legal team of three is also praised for their vast turnout of paperwork including equity documents to meet the ambitious expansion of the company.
