VDB Loi advises Tebodin on legal and tax aspects of on sale of Asia Pacific operations

VDB Loi is pleased to announce that it provided legal and taxation advisory services for multidisciplinary consulting and engineering firm Tebodin on the acquisition of its Asia Pacific operations by Archetype Group.

The agreement was signed on 4th March, 2016, and creates a company with over 1,100 employees and annual revenues of over US$40 million.

VDB Loi acted as both local counsel assisting the international transaction counsel and tax advisor. It provided legal and advice in Myanmar, Vietnam and Indonesia in a transaction which also included acquisition of assets in Thailand and India. VDB Loi coordinated the tax planning across the entire region.

VDB Loi senior partner Edwin Vanderbruggen says that the deal reflects VDB’s strength in the region and the value of being able to provide coordinated legal and tax advice on complex multi-jurisdictional transactions in a challenging region. “Being able to access integrated advice across both legal and tax areas is a significant advantage to clients,” he says. “We are delighted to have been able to help international counsel Pinsent Mason and Tebodin on this important transaction.”
