technology m&a lawyers
trusted advisors in the m&a scene
Most tech companies across Southeast Asia are likely to exit via m&a (rather than IPO). We can help you prepare for that journey. As m&a experts in the tech space, we work with our clients throughout their life-cycles to maximise value on exit.
Our corporate lawyers have advised on hundreds of acquisitions and exits over the course of their careers, involving entrepreneurs to the largest multinationals. We also help startup companies seeking to grow by the acquisition of other tech businesses in the region, which might involve share or asset purchases, or acqui-hires.
