Strategic Growth by Acquisition
Supported a first China acquisition through cross-border alignment and transaction coordination.
When a European luxury brand made its first acquisition in China, we supported the buyer alongside affiliated deal advisory and finance-tax teams — helping align European expectations with Chinese transaction realities, keep adviser input clear, and maintain trust with the target under a compressed timeline.
Our Work
Client Profile
A European luxury furniture company, publicly listed and well-established in global markets, sought to accelerate its growth in Asia through strategic acquisition.

The transaction required speed, local financial and tax clarity, and careful communication with a China-based target operating under different business norms. The challenge was to keep both sides aligned while deal, diligence and documentation workstreams advanced in parallel.
