Company Investment & JVs

Charltons is committed to assisting companies, joint venture (JV) partners and investors grow their ideas and investments in Hong Kong and the PRC.

We are experienced in advising both buyers and sellers in private equity transactions. We frequently advise on fund formation, transactions, portfolio management, investment restructuring, exits,leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, buy-ins, venture capital investments and financing transactions. We also advise pre-IPO and cornerstone investors.

The boutique nature of our practice means we are frequently retained by smaller and mid-size businesses and closely-held companies seeking an exit or growth financing. We derive a great deal of satisfaction from managing our clients’ Hong Kong company investment and PRC investment solutions and contributing to their success stories. We are happy to advise clients regardless of their size or the size or complexity of the proposed investment.

We regularly act as Hong Kong legal advisers to PRC based JVs. As well as advising generally on the appropriateness of a particular joint venture structure, we can draft the term sheet, the letter of intent and the joint venture agreement, perform due diligence on PRC joint venture partners together with local lawyers and draft or review and revise other relevant documents such as the sale and purchase agreement and disclosure letter. We also advise on the composition of the board and senior management, regulatory requirements, confidentiality and IP protection. We regularly cooperate with lawyers from other jurisdictions on joint venture related matters. We are also experienced in advising on more traditional partnerships including limited partnerships and limited liability companies where the nature of the relationship is set out in the partnership or operating agreement.
