Strategy

M&A strategy

We help acquirers devise and optimize their M&A strategy. We also help companies adapt their corporate M&A strategy to East Asia.

Preliminary valuation

We prepare preliminary valuations of companies to give an initial indication of their value. This is used by acquirers in finalizing their strategy and in early negotiations of transactions.

Matching

Identification of acquisition targets

We find suitable acquisition targets in all East Asia. We are skilled in approaching the sellers of interesting targets and convincing them to sell to our clients.

Execution

Overall project management

We manage the overall M&A transaction from beginning to end. We specify all steps to be taken by our clients and advise them on the best choices at each step. We coordinate the team of advisers (lawyers, accountants, client’s internal team …) so as to achieve the best outcome for the transaction.

Confidential approach

We can first approach the potential other party in an M&A transaction without revealing our client’s name. We are skilled in approaching the other party and convincing them to participate in the M&A process with our client.

Due diligence

We help parties with all steps of the due diligence, which is a thorough investigation of the acquired company’s affairs.

Integration preparation

We work with acquirers to prepare for the integration of the target. The benefits, costs and cash investments linked to this integration must be reflected in the valuation of the target.

Structuring

With the lawyers, accountants and tax advisers working for our clients, we devise the optimal structure for the M&A transaction from a combined business, legal, tax and accounting point of view.

Valuation

We perform comprehensive valuations of target businesses to give acquirers a clear idea as to their value.

Negotiation

We assist our clients with every steps of the negotiation of M&A transactions, from the initial confidentiality agreement all the way to the negotiations of the final legal documents. We work closely with the client’s internal or external lawyers to ensure that the commercial agreement is appropriately reflected in the transaction’s legal documentation.

Training

We help internalize specific knowledge and skills in your teams
