Public M&A
About
We advise clients on all aspects of public M&A transactions, including structuring, due diligence, and tender offers or takeover bids (TOBs), delistings and minority squeeze out transactions, mergers, share transfers, forward triangular mergers / stock exchanges, listings with overseas SPACs, regulatory requirements for public companies, including insider trading regulations, as well as on potential actions by minority shareholders. We have acted for both offerors and targets in public company takeovers and also have experience advising on hostile takeover strategies, executions and takeover defenses.
