We provide comprehensive advice and services on private and public takeovers and complex M&A transactions and are regularly in contacts with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), and a number of other governmental authorities.

Not only have we successfully assisted our clients on a number of high profile transactions in complying with merger control requirements, including pre-merger filing and post-merger notification as administered by the Office of the Trade and Competition Commission (OTCC), but we have also worked closely with our clients in identifying anti-competition issues at the early stage of the transactions and forming step plan to secure clearance or complete requisite filings in a timely manner.
