Mergers & Acquisitions in China

China's rise as the most important global M&A market and the almost dramatic
increase of Chinese outbound M&A activities signals a sea change of
opportunities and pitfalls. As witnessed by the landmark deal between Lenovo
and computer giant IBM in 2005, M&A transactions are expected to gather pace
as China prepares itself to become an economic superpower. While the central
government has somewhat revamped opaque regulations, Mergers & Acquisitions in
China: Law and Practice lends much needed clarity by providing a structured
introduction to the legal aspects of China's M&A regime. Author
Lutz-Christian Wolff of the Chinese University of Hong Kong discusses
various aspects of M&A in their practical context, particularly drawing out
hidden intricacies and how to deal with them from the viewpoint of foreign
investors. The first comprehensive book on this topic Mergers &
Acquisitions in China: Law and Practice tackles head-on topics such as due
diligence, structuring options, M&A activity by diverse players in various
targets, as well as anti-trust, tax and labour issues. It includes
comprehensive references and bilingual versions of the most important
M&A-related laws and regulations that will turn savvy foreign investors into
more astute dealmakers.
