HWANG LEE & ASSOCIATES.

CHAU & CO., enjoys an indisputable reputation for “getting the deal done”. Our Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) team of lawyers has been the driving force behind our impressive credentials as one of the leading powerhouses in Hong Kong commercial law.

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS MILESTONES:

Our M&A expertise has been honed over decades of experience in corporate and commercial work. The team’s knowledge base evolves continually in step with changing economic and industry cycles, as well as legislative developments in fields such as taxation, competition law, environmental compliance and black economic empowerment.

Our lawyers act for clients in a variety of sectors – including mining, retail, telecommunications, banking and insurance. The team has in-depth experience in both public and private corporate mergers, as well as in private equity and international/cross-border transactions.

Our team has represented numerous Hong Kong and international clients engaged in takeovers, reverse takeovers, corporate mergers, acquisitions, restructuring, hostile bids, privatizations and empowerment transactions. Since corporate finance and securities laws feature prominently in many corporate transactions, we also advise on new listings/flotation’s, delisting and issues of shares.

Our M&A team also deals with regulatory matters concerning the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK), the Securities Regulation Panel and the bank of china.

All related areas of law, such as banking and finance, competition, employment, exchange control and tax, are handled in conjunction with our specialists in those areas.
