Multi-jurisdictional deal execution bridging ASEAN markets and US capital markets.

Overview

Cross-border transactions between Southeast Asia and the United States present unique opportunities and challenges. Aetherium maintains on-the-ground presence in both regions, enabling us to advise on transactions that require coordination across multiple legal systems, regulatory bodies, and cultural contexts.

What we provide

Our cross-border practice covers deal structuring that accounts for tax treaties, foreign investment regulations, and exchange control requirements across ASEAN jurisdictions. We coordinate local counsel in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines while managing US regulatory filings and compliance obligations.

Ideal for

• Southeast Asian companies listing on NASDAQ or NYSE
• US-based acquirers evaluating targets in ASEAN markets
• Multi-national transactions requiring coordination across three or more jurisdictions

Outcomes

Transactions proceed with clarity despite jurisdictional complexity. Clients avoid common pitfalls related to foreign ownership limits, repatriation restrictions, and regulatory approval timelines. Deals close on schedule with structures that are robust from both a legal and tax perspective.
