Against a dynamic and rapidly evolving business landscape, dealmaking in Asia in the current year has been marked by resilience, innovation, and a strategic response to the challenges presented by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The region has continued to play a pivotal role in the global economy, with transaction lawyers navigating a complex terrain of geopolitical shifts and regulatory developments.
In this edition’s section dedicated to “Dealmakers of Asia 2023, we’d be delighted to showcase lawyers who have particularly stood out as top dealmakers this year. These legal trailblazers have demonstrated exceptional adaptability and strategic foresight in navigating the complexities of the current economic realm. The surge in cross-border deals, particularly in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector, project finance, and foreign direct investment (FDI), underscores the dynamic nature of dealmaking in Asia. Businesses are strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on growth opportunities and overcome challenges posed by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fueled by the three-year epidemic, certain enterprises are encountering difficulties in adhering to their commitments regarding the listing timetable. Simultaneously, investment institutions face pressures related to fund maturity and potential disputes with portfolio companies. In response to these challenges, dealmakers are strategically engaging dispute resolution teams to seek advice and assist clients in achieving their negotiation goals. These dynamics underscore the adaptability and strategic foresight of dealmakers in navigating a landscape affected by external pressures, ensuring that businesses can overcome hurdles and continue to thrive in the evolving market conditions.
