YKVN LLC, Corporate/M&A | Chambers Asia-Pacific Profile

About

Provided by YKVN LLC

M&A is one of the key practice areas that helps to define YKVN’s market leading position. We have built a practice that covers a broad range of matters, including privatization, public M&A, private M&A and PE transactions and are widely recognized as a tier-one law firm in these areas.

Our lawyers can handle complex transactions with precision and speed. We have the knowledge, infrastructure, technical capability and strategic perspective that are invaluable in helping to clients select, implement and coordinate their strategies in Vietnam.

Our experience with relevant transactions and critical mass of lawyers in our offices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore ensure legal advice at standards essential for such transactions, and the economies that result from experienced, coordinated transaction management.

We have worked on most if not all key privatization deals (Vietcombank, Vietinbank, Vietnam Airlines and Petrolimex) and landmark public and private M&A deals (including SK’s US$1 billion investment in Vingroup, GIC’s US$1.3 billion investment in Vinhome, the merger between Masan’s consumer business and Vingroup’s retail business and Shinhan Bank’s acquisition of the retail business of ANZ Vietnam).
