mergers & acquisitions

We assists international companies in merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in China. Our team of professional advisors assist clients in identifying and evaluating potential M&A targets, performing due diligence, participating in negotiations side-by-side with our clients, and often project manage the M&A process on behalf of our clients.

China's accession into the WTO has accelerated China's economic reforms and further liberalisation of the market place, resulting in an increasing level of M&A activities. International companies often see M&A as an integral part of initial market entry and expansion strategies in increasing domestic market share and capitalising on opportunities in various industries or sectors that may remain highly regulated. The “privatisation” program of state-owned entities, the deregulation of various industries that were previously restricted, and the emergence of the asset management companies for non-performing loans all act as a catalyst for the increase of M&A activities in China.

Finding the right target to merge or acquire is difficult enough in most marketplaces, let alone in a large developing country like China. We have accumulated valuable M&A experience and established strategic relationships in the China market to help your company find the best fit for your strategy. Whether identifying acquisition targets or strategic alliances, to forming a joint venture, or spinning-off a non-core business, our team has the expertise to guide you from concept through to implementation.

We work very closely with our clients in identifying and assessing M&A targets for business and strategic fit, as well as developing new opportunities. From initial due diligence, to valuations, risk assessment, and corporate restructuring, we are confident in providing quality M&A advice and implementation services to ensure your objective is met in the China market.

We are experienced in representing buyers, sellers, investors, private equity and venture capital funds, institutional investors, independent committee groups, syndicates, leveraged buy-out groups, shareholder groups, etc.

M&A services are tailored to meet specific strategic requirements and situations. Please contact us for assistance or further information.
