Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are at the core of our practice. We regularly advise a wide range of international corporate clients on cross border and multi-jurisdictional M&A transactions, complex joint ventures, disposals and general commercial and corporate governance issues. Our client-focused M&A work is defined by creativity and a commitment to careful planning and coordination throughout.

We have been adviser of choice on a large number of the more complex public and private company Hong Kong M&A transactions, particularly on deals involving an international cross-border or significant PRC dimension. We have advised on significant Hong Kong M&A transactions across a broad section of industries, and are particularly experienced in advising on M&A transactions in the mineral and natural resources sector.

We advise on public takeovers in Hong Kong, including compliance with the requirements of the Hong Kong Takeovers Code, private company acquisitions and disposals in Hong Kong, the PRC and other jurisdictions, transaction structuring, due diligence, private equity and venture capital investments and divestments, direct investment, equity and contractual joint ventures (including, in particular, investment in the PRC) general commercial agreements and documentation, shareholders and management agreement, distributorship agreements, agency agreements, licence agreements, management agreements and outsourcing agreements.
