LCS & Partners clear strength according to peers and client is its strength in corporate work. "They are experts in M&A deals," says a client. "Armed with a good knowledge, the firm is strong in their specialised areas, such as M&A and capital market."
The firm is also commended for its ability to support clients throughout South-East Asia, "LCS has no problem in supporting a deal when the issues involve Japan, China and offshore matters," says another client.
Highlighting the firm's strength last year was its advice on the acquisition of Chinese assets of Jean Co by the BOE Group in a first cross straits M&A deal in Taiwanese History. This landmark deal was complicated by the separate regulatory approvals required in both China and Taiwan.
The firm has also advised on the largest foreign company IPO in Taiwan acting for TPK Holding on its NT$2.24 billion listing.
Clients have enjoyed working with the firm because "throughout the transaction, they are dedicated and responsive" and have individuals like Rich Lin "who have demonstrated their ability in finding solutions".
Other significant M&A work included advising DSM in its tender offer for control of AGI, a Taiwan listed company. This is the first significant tender offer for a Taiwan listed enterprise by a major international company since the global financial crisis.
