Corporate/M&A

About

Provided by SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan

The firm’s corporate/M&A team has acted as counsel in many of the largest investments and M&A deals in the Philippines, shepherding these transactions from initial structuring and due diligence to the preparation of shareholders agreements to the requisite regulatory processes. We are experts in foreign investments, and have helped the top global companies establish their businesses in the country.

Many of the firm’s lawyers are both specialists (having expertise in particular fields) and generalists (due to the firm’s training and rotation practices, and the nature of SyCip work, lawyers will have a familiarity or actual experience in various practice areas such as tax, employment law, intellectual property law, antitrust, litigation, regulatory, etc. expertise). Thus, SyCipLaw lawyers can bring unique, holistic and various perspectives to a transaction or project.

We anticipate and quickly build experience and expertise in any given field. For example, M&A practice now requires a deep grasp of competition law and tax regulations, and the firm has a pool of experts on these practice areas who keep abreast of latest developments. We believe that we have the most extensive experience in merger notification and related works. With the expansion of IT and fintech, our understanding of the regulations, and policies, together with our grasp of related matters such as AMLA regulation and data privacy becomes very useful to clients.
