San Francisco – April 14, 2023 – Cooley advised Uber, a tech company providing mobility as a service, on its agreement to sell a 50.03% stake in a newly created super app business unit of its Middle East subsidiary Careem to e& (formerly known as Emirates Telecommunications Group Company) for $400 million. Lawyers Ben Beerle, Ben Shribman, Carlos Ramirez, David Peinsipp, Caitlin Cunningham, Joe Claffey and Arielle H. Friehling led the Cooley team.
