Details

Mergers and Acquisitions in Singapore: Law and Practice sets out the law and discusses the nuances, issues and controversies that have dominated the field of mergers and acquisitions. It aims to address the needs of both the professional and academic communities.

This book is intended to operate as an aid to practitioners who are involved in the structuring and implementation of M&A transactions. In addition, it is also aimed at litigation professionals whose services are drawn upon when an M&A deal is one that requires an ex ante sanction of a court of law or one that presents itself before a court due to disputes that require resolution.

Apart from discussing the law and its implications on transactions, the authors have made a conscious effort to distill the background and rationale to specific rules and principles and their evolution, which we believe will be of benefit to students and professionals seeking an initiation into the field of M&A.
