Highlights
In a landmark private placement, the firm advised a consortium of foreign investors on their acquisition of a significant stake in VGI Public Company Limited. The team resolved complex foreign ownership issues by successfully introducing the "initial purchaser" concept to the Thai private placement market for the first time, adapting a tool typically used in international IPOs.
Other examples of the firm’s deal work include advising TRITN on its acquisition of a holding company owning 117 hectares of land in Chonburi, for development into a nature park. This was a highly complex transaction requiring careful navigation of multiple legal and regulatory challenges.
