01. About

Our lawyers have assisted with hundreds of acquisitions and exits across a wide range of industry sectors between companies based entirely in China as well as those with presences in both the European and Chinese markets.
Our tailored approach has earned us industry recognition and awards for transactions on both the sale and purchasing sides. We prepare our clients throughout their entire M&A process and share our expertise in deal-making and negotiations to help them every step of the way – from structuring to closing of the deal. Leaf’s multicultural team is invaluable when it comes to bridging the gap between western M&A expectations and Chinese legal constraints. Together we can help you assess liabilities, identify main priorities, prepare for complex negotiations, and reach agreements.
