YAMASHITA & ASSOCIATES
Yamashita & Associates, a cross-border M&A consulting firm in Asia, is the leading firm for M&A between ASEAN and Japanese companies especially in the field of Software and IT Industry.
IT-Focus M&A since 2000
Unlike the usual cross-border M&A deals whereby the M&A advisor provides information on the needs of their client to other M&A advisors and seeks their help in sourcing potential targets in the targeted country, YAMASHITA & ASSOCIATES with the best interest of our clients at heart researches targeted country and companies ourselves and contacts, communicates and negotiates directly with potential Targets. Thus our clients can have a clear understanding of the targeted market and Targets' conditions. It helps them to make sound judgement in the selection of the best strategic partner.
Since our establishment in the year 2000, we have had outstanding M&A achievements between Japanese and ASEAN companies, consolidated the best M&A processes for our clients and built extensive and strong connections with Software and IT company founders and top executives.
Our objective is to operate always with our client's best interest at heart and clinch successful M&A deal for our client with the best partner.
