China Outbound M&A

Cross-border M&A activity in Hong Kong, especially outbound ones from China, has been increasing in terms of volume, value and complexity in recent years. Some of the increase was attributable to offshore transactions involving China business operators, private equity funds and financial institutions. Because these transactions cover the laws of multiple jurisdictions, it is important to be cognizant of the various legal issues that may impact their execution. This course will identify the challenges and issues arising out of China outbound M&As and will analyze the legal and regulatory regime governing such transactions.
