As Hong Kong’s own world-class law firm, Deacons is well placed to overcome the toughest challenges confronting private M&As.
Private mergers and acquisitions might not face the scrutiny of public transactions, but they raise challenges that are just as significant. It helps if your lawyers understand your business priorities but can also appreciate your counterparty’s concerns, grasping where you can safely compromise and where you should not.
At Deacons, we have all the experience you would expect from Hong Kong’s leading independent law firm, plus a commitment to understanding our clients’ needs and providing practical advice to help them achieve their aims.
Our lawyers are experienced in advising on all aspects of private M&A for an extensive and sophisticated client base that includes local and international companies, private equity and other investment funds, and leading financial institutions.
We also regularly advise clients on various forms of pre-IPO investment (and divestment on IPO), including subscription of convertible bonds and preference shares, and as to compliance with the guidance issued by the Stock Exchange on pre-IPO investment.
Scope of Services
Our proven ability to handle large and complex transactions via providing practical solutions promptly and efficiently is widely acknowledged. Our lawyers deliver concise, relevant and timely assistance, not just with all aspects of corporate law, but also on all related company and commercial matters, helping to ensure that your transactions run smoothly and set a solid foundation for the future of the business.
