How Del Canto Chambers delivered value
With Del Canto’s combined knowledge of both the Arab region and our sector expertise in global digital media strategies, we were able to facilitate the agreement and manage the joint venture from beginning to end.
This included managing diverse cultural differences, business approaches, and keeping negotiations on track. Our team advised on the legal regulations, the structure of the joint venture and tax implications. This incorporated solving the complexities of launching a media platform such as the Huffington Post simultaneously in over 20 Arab countries each with different legislation.
The Result
The HuffPost Arabi platform was the first-of-its-kind online news site targeting the entire Arab World of 377 million people living in 22 countries. The deal increased Huffington Post’s Arabic readership and associated advertising revenues.
