Strategic Consulting

Whether your company is a start-up, scale-up or well established organization, good corporate governance is one of the essential elements to your company’s success. It promotes trust among the shareholders and other stakeholders such as directors, senior management executives, customers, suppliers, financiers, regulators and the community. We can assist your company to set up a good corporate governance which should entail the following:

• A clear, transparent and documented structure of rules, policies, practices and procedures for managing a company and attaining the company’s objectives
• A holistic application of good management, encompassing every sphere of management from formulation of plans and policies, implementation of action plans and measures, internal control and supervision, performance / outcome assessment to corporate disclosure
• A comprehensive structure to cover areas such as business strategy, corporate culture, compliance and risk management, ESG (environmental, social and governance), compensation and employee benefits, taking into account the company’s objectives and vision
• Key design principles including an effective and accountable board of directors, transparency around roles and responsibilities of senior management, balanced objectives among and fairness to all interested stakeholders, and a clear organization and reporting structure to foster responsibility and accountability

Whether you are a buyer or seller or an investor seeking for short-term or long-term profits, we can assist you in completing the transaction in a cost and time-efficient manner, tailored to your business objectives and financial goals. By leveraging our extensive experience in transaction advisory work relating to mergers, acquisitions, private equity investments, equity and debt capital markets and joint ventures, we can, working together with your other professional advisers, help you sail through different stages of a transaction starting from exploring opportunities, planning, negotiation, due diligence, documentation, execution and post-completion considerations. Key common issues to be considered/dealt with in pursuing a transaction include:

• Share or business purchase, which determines the approach of negotiation, scope of due diligence and transaction documentation
• Preparatory steps such as valuation of the company/business, pre-deal reorganization, intra-group transfers of assets and shares and capital or debt financing for the transaction
• Preparation of agreements including confidentiality agreements, term sheets, shareholders agreements, subscription agreements, share/business purchase agreements, limited partnership agreements and side letters
• Other considerations in respect of tax obligations, corporate governance, public relations and human resources
