Chen & Lin has enjoyed an increasing deal flow, especially in M&A and capital markets, and has begun to make a footprint in the banking table. Peers recognise its "good practice in trade law".
The firm's capital markets practice was featured in several global offerings and share issuances, such as Sunrex Technology's $23 million GDR offerings and Novatek Microelectronics Corporation's issuance of $9 million in common shares for its merger with Cheertek Incorporation. The firm is also in the process of assisting local companies on their IPOs in Hong Kong.
A sampling of its banking deals finds the firm on the borrower's side, advising NexPower Technology Corporation on the $185 million financing provided by Bank of Taiwan, Chinatrust Commercial Bank and First Commercial Bank. In an acquisition financing, the firm represented Transpac Capital on a $150 million financing for the acquisition and restructuring of Eastern Home Shopping & Leisure. The firm is also counselling the borrower on the $250 million acquisition of Eastern Home Shopping & Leisure.
The firm's M&A practice turns in a growing number of deals from the technology sector, such as ITE Technology's $220 million merger with Usbest Technology, Smedia Technology and Chip Advanced Technology and Global Mixed-Mode Technology's $38 million acquisition of Aimtron Technology. One more example saw the firm advising Unimicron Technology in a $230 million merger with Phoenix Precision Technology.
