M&A
Mergers & Acquisitions / Cross-Border Investment
Mergers, acquisitions, and cross-border investments are key drivers of business growth, market expansion, and resource integration. Such transactions often involve complex legal, financial, and tax structures, requiring careful coordination among multiple stakeholders and effective risk management to ensure successful execution and expected value creation.

We provide comprehensive legal support throughout the transaction lifecycle—from due diligence and transaction structuring to documentation, regulatory approvals, closing, and post-closing integration. Through close collaboration with law firms worldwide, we assist Taiwanese businesses in expanding overseas and support foreign investors entering the Taiwanese market.
