Private M&A

Private M&A transactions are becoming more complex and multifaceted, requiring sophisticated strategy and structuring to capture and protect value. Working closely with other lawyers in our leading global practices — including tax, finance, antitrust & competition, employment, compliance and intellectual property — we bring the right capabilities and experience to anticipate and resolve issues in all involved jurisdictions.

We are one of the world’s most active transactional firms. Our experience has consistently received recognition from independent rating organizations and league tables, including Thomson Reuters, which has ranked Baker & McKenzie as one of the top 10 M&A legal advisors, globally and in each of four regions, by number of announced deals for the past four years.

Baker & McKenzie lawyers in Beijing, Hong Kong and New York advise Hanmax Investment Limited, Fosun Industrial Co. Ltd. and Tonsun International Company Limited on their acquisition of Tongjitang Chinese Medicines Company by way of a merger — the first privatization of a US-listed company under the Cayman Islands merger statute.
The amendments to Russia’s Strategic Companies Law raise the threshold to clear acquisitions, specify cases to which the Strategic Companies Law no longer applies, and identify activities that are no longer classified as strategic. These changes will enter into force 30 calendar days after the official publication.
David Watson, former regional general counsel with Mars Incorporated, joins Baker & McKenzie’s Corporate Markets practice as a partner. He brings to the table extensive experience in the fast moving consumer goods industry, mergers, acquisitions and joint venture transactions, crisis management, product recall and food law and policy.
