Our mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice helps clients address challenges at all phases of a transaction with sophisticated and comprehensive advice. We work closely with colleagues from our corporate, securities, intellectual property, employment and tax practices to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. We provide services to effectively structure, confidently negotiate and execute transactions, providing comprehensive support before and after deal execution.
Our lawyers are active and experienced in a wide range of areas, including public company takeovers, IPOs, rights issues, restricted issues, private placements, offers of sale and share swaps. We frequently collaborate with and are consulted by regulators, particularly in relation to submissions to the Securities Commission and Bank Negara Malaysia.
As a member firm of Baker McKenzie, we are one of the world’s most active transactional firms, acting for public and private companies on a wide range of deals — including multibillion-dollar transactions spanning more than 50 countries. Unlike many law firms that assign expatriate lawyers to execute cross-border deals, we work seamlessly with other Baker McKenzie member firms worldwide to devise practical, tailored strategies based on authentic local knowledge.
