M&A, Corporate Reorganization and Alliances SERVICES
Our firm is extensively involved in a wide spectrum of M&A transactions, including acquisitions of mid-sized enterprises by listed companies, strategic investments in unlisted ventures by major trading houses and corporations, and fund investments involving public-private partnerships. We also handle mergers and acquisitions between unlisted mid-sized and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) aimed at enhancing competitiveness, as well as business succession and cross-border transactions.
We have a significant track record in corporate reorganization—such as transitions to holding company structures, consolidation of subsidiaries, and business carve-outs—as well as the establishment of joint ventures between listed companies and capital-business alliances between established firms and startups.
Our client base is broad, ranging from listed corporations and owner-managed businesses to private equity and turnaround funds across various industries. We propose optimal structures tailored to each case, including share transfers, mergers, company splits, business transfers, share exchanges, tender offers (TOB), and share consolidations.
M&A within the context of business revitalization is one of our core strengths. Leveraging our deep expertise in restructuring, we provide strategic advice particularly to sponsors. Additionally, in transactions involving potential conflicts of interest, such as MBOs or TOBs of listed subsidiaries by parent companies, we serve as members of third-party committees or as independent legal advisors.
We have a strong focus on cross-border transactions, with particular expertise in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and India.
