Walkers acted as BVI legal advisers to Amazon.com Inc. in its agreement to acquire Souq Group Limited, the BVI holding company of the SOUQ.com business, an e-commerce leader in the Middle East.

Goldman Sachs called the deal "the biggest-ever technology M&A transaction in the Arab world".

Walkers was instructed by Clifford Chance and Fenwick & West and led by partners Rosalind Nicholson, David Collins and Ashley Davies and assisted by senior counsel Nick Egan and associate Jessica Robinson.
