Mergers & Acquisitions

We advise buyers, sellers, and investors on share and asset acquisitions, joint ventures, and corporate restructurings under Hong Kong law. From initial due diligence through to completion and post-closing adjustments, we work to ensure every transaction is structured to protect your interests.

Transaction Structuring & Due Diligence

Every acquisition begins with understanding the target. We conduct thorough legal due diligence covering corporate records, material contracts, regulatory licences, litigation exposure, and employment obligations. Working under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571), we advise on the optimal transaction structure — whether share purchase, asset acquisition, or scheme of arrangement — and prepare or review the full suite of transaction documents including SPAs, shareholders agreements, and disclosure letters.

Shareholders Agreements & Joint Ventures

For ongoing ventures, clearly defined rights and obligations are essential. We draft and negotiate shareholders agreements covering governance, decision-making, transfer restrictions, deadlock mechanisms, and exit provisions. Where joint ventures involve cross-border elements, we coordinate with counsel in relevant jurisdictions to ensure alignment across multiple legal systems.

Whether you are acquiring a company, selling a business, or entering a joint venture, get in touch to discuss your transaction.
