Corporate & Mergers and Acquisitions
Creating Transaction Value Through Strategic Insight
Corporate and M&A is one of the firm’s core practice areas. Our strength lies in a three-dimensional approach that integrates industry insight, transactional execution, and comprehensive risk management. We have deep experience across a wide range of industries and provide end-to-end, tailored legal services, covering transaction structuring, due diligence, negotiation and closing, and post-transaction integration.
Pre-Transaction Due Diligence and Strategic Planning We conduct comprehensive legal due diligence on target companies, covering key areas such as shareholding structure, asset ownership, material contracts, regulatory and operational compliance (including labor, environmental, and tax matters), as well as litigation and arbitration exposure. We deliver detailed due diligence reports and assist clients in formulating acquisition strategies, designing risk-isolated transaction structures—including equity acquisitions, asset acquisitions, mergers, and spin-offs—to mitigate potential legal risks.
Transaction Documentation and Negotiation We draft and review the full suite of transaction documents, including letters of intent (LOIs), share or asset purchase agreements, performance commitment and compensation arrangements, and transitional service or interim period agreements. We represent clients in commercial and legal negotiations, with particular focus on pricing mechanisms, closing conditions, allocation of rights and obligations, and liability provisions, ensuring a balanced and commercially sound outcome for all parties.
Regulatory Approvals and Closing Support We assist clients in completing regulatory and governmental approval procedures related to M&A transactions, including antitrust filings, state-owned asset valuation filings or approvals, industry-specific regulatory approvals (such as in finance, healthcare, and energy), corporate registration changes, and tax filings. We provide full closing support, supervising asset or equity transfers, settlement of receivables and liabilities, and employee arrangements to ensure smooth and timely completion of transactions. Post-Merger Integration and Dispute Resolution We advise on post-merger legal integration relating to business operations, personnel, and financial arrangements, and assist clients in optimizing corporate governance structures. For disputes arising from M&A transactions—including shareholding disputes, performance compensation claims, and contractual breaches—we provide negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation services to protect our clients’ rights and interests to the fullest extent.
