OVERVIEW

Business expansion matters to our clients. They always seek to acquire new businesses, form joint ventures with local partners, invest in public companies, private equity and start-ups, bid for concessions and privatizations, acquire distressed assets, restructure their operations internally, implement investment exit strategies, undertake infrastructure projects, provide W&I insurance and localize global transactions. Which is why we offer our clients one-stop-shop services by combining expertise across all our specialized practices, under highly efficient project management. No matter how complex a transaction is or which structure is selected, we help them attain their commercial objectives and priorities. Comprehensive services, business acumen and a positive attitude towards getting deals through have made our M&A department the partner of choice for our clients.
