Mergers & Acquisitions

KPMG Legal’s M&A team adds value at each phase of a transaction, protecting your strategic interests whether you are selling or buying, planning a merger or about to embark on a business alliance. Applying an integrated approach, we leverage the experience and expertise of KPMG’s network in Vietnam and around the world to deliver services wherever you need them.

KPMG Legal works seamlessly with KPMG’s Advisory and Tax teams. Many of our clients appreciate the convenience and efficiency of working with us as their sole provider of complex and comprehensive M&A services. Others value the ease and flexibility of our modular offering and engage us to cover only the legal aspect of their transaction. Whatever your needs, we will help make your transaction a success.

Origination and structuring, due diligence (finance, tax, and legal), transaction documents and negotiations, and implementation can all be implemented under an engagement with KPMG Legal, maximizing shareholder value and minimizing advisory complexity and risk. Our unified team alleviates many of the complications and inconsistencies (and other matters that are “lost in translation”) that arise when using separate advisors.
