Corporate/M&A: International

About

Provided by Linklaters

Our Corporate/M&A practice is regarded as the “go-to” trusted advisor for clients with their most strategic and complex deals, including advising Citi on the sale of its five consumer banking franchises in SEA (one of the largest M&A transactions in APAC in 2021), AXA and Affin Bank on the sale of its insurance operations in Malaysia to Generali (one of the largest insurance deals in Malaysia), and Macquarie Asset Management on its acquisition of a significant minority stake in Bersama Digital Infrastructure Asia Pte. Ltd. for c.US$610m (one of the largest foreign investments into the Indonesian digital infrastructure sector).

Many of the transactions that we advise on require wide geographical coverage and the involvement of a considerable number of Linklaters lawyers across different disciplines and jurisdictions. We are able to understand the commercial drivers of the counter parties, have deep empathy with our clients, and can expertly navigate cultural nuances and politics, something no other international law firm can offer.

We are one of the few (if not the only) team in the market to offer a team of three M&A-focused partners, each with a sector focus, supported by specialised teams such as employment, TMT and financial regulation

, that are market-leaders in their own right. This bench strength means that we have a uniquely well-rounded market offering. Together with our strong Jakarta M&A team, led by Karen Phang, we present a uniquely well-rounded market offering.
