Mergers and Acquisitions

Over the last four years, the Asian M&A market has grown fourfold, by some estimates. Much of this growth has been in China, where strategic and financial acquirers are executing a variety of sophisticated cross-border and domestic acquisitions across a broad spectrum of industry sectors. Domestic Chinese corporations are also becoming more active in cross-border acquisitions.

O’Melveny’s China Practice has built a long track record of handling some of the most groundbreaking and complex cross-border acquisitions in the region. The Legal 500 placed us in the top tier of Recommended Firms, calling us a “large and active team,” and “a definite leader.” Chambers and Partners echoed this praise, calling us “very active and very well regarded in the market,” and noting our “solid grounding in China.”

Our value proposition is our ability to handle the myriad complex issues involved in cross-border transactions. From large teams on the ground in China handling due diligence and documentation work to thoughtful structuring, tax, intellectual property, and employment law advice to navigating through the thicket of required regulatory and government approvals (whether in Beijing or Washington, D.C.), O’Melveny’s China M&A group has the resources and experience to provide a competitive edge to buyers and sellers in China-focused cross-border transactions.
