Strategy

M&A strategy

We help parties 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 parties in finalizing their strategy and in early negotiations of transactions.

Matching

Identification of Southeast Asian JV partners

We find suitable JV partners in all East Asia for our clients. We are skilled in finding in-depth information on the potential partners enabling our clients to know who they are really dealing with.

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.

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 parties 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
