Merger and acquisition (M&A) work represents a significant proportion of our activity. Our corporate lawyers are leaders in M&A, specialising in large, complex cross-border transactions.

We have particular expertise in the formation and acquisition of banks and financial institutions, advising on licence requirements, regulatory compliance and the protection of deposits. We can help lower capital costs by optimising bank asset structures and liquidity.

Our M&A clients not only include banks and financial institutions but also many of the large international corporations in the IT and telecoms, media, defence and manufacturing sectors.

For more information please contact Ben Wee, business development manager.
