Introduction

To coincide with our mergers with Ogilvy Renault in Canada and Deneys Reitz in South Africa, we are pleased to present a trilogy of new and revised transaction guides, forming part of our Asia Pacific commercial law series. These guides are: M&A law in Asia Pacific, Joint Ventures: protections for minority shareholders in Asia Pacific, and Banking Security Law in Asia Pacific.

The latest edition of M&A Law in Asia Pacific gives an overview of the key issues involved in the conduct of mergers and acquisitions and offers guidance on regulatory constraints governing such transactions.  In addition to updating a number of important legal developments in various jurisdictions including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam, we have also expanded the coverage in this latest edition to include Japan and Taiwan, offering a comprehensive coverage of the major Asia Pacific jurisdictions.  

This guide will be of interest to multinationals looking to invest in the Asia Pacific region, Asian corporations looking beyond their borders to invest in the region and financial advisers advising on such transactions.

With our strong track record and as one of the best resourced international legal practices in the region with over 800 lawyers in our 13 Asia Pacific offices, we are well placed to advise clients on their investments in the Asia Pacific region.
