The transaction, which was signed in January 2013, involved the acquisition by the listed Australian entity Easton Investments Limited, via a subsidiary, of a 19.9% interest in AAM Advisory, a Singapore based financial services business.
Herbert Smith Freehills partner Peter Dunne led the acquisition team, supported by lawyer Rohan Singh and assisted by the firm’s Singapore office.
Peter Dunne said: ‘It was a pleasure to work closely with Campbell McComb, Easton Investments Limited’s Managing Director, as Easton expands its presence in Asia.‘
Herbert Smith Freehills has a strong relationship with Easton Investments Limited and has advised the business on a number of Mergers and Acquisitions transactions.
