Cross-border M&A, joint ventures, and emerging company and venture capital advisory form the core of my practice. I am proud to work with clients that include industry-leading emerging growth companies and a broad range of investors who fund them (traditional private equity and venture capital funds, prominent Asian family offices, the corporate/strategic investment arms of large corporates, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds). My industry coverage includes biopharma, MedTech and digital health; gaming, and entertainment; material science and semiconductors; Deeptech/AI; Fintech (payments, remittances, and digital assets); PropTech; FoodTech; health and wellness; and CPG.This is what clients and legal rankings organizations say about my practice:Thomas is “a strong advocate for his client, offering strategic and actionable advice, evaluating and clearly prioritizing the key issues in complex situations and proactively anticipating concerns from counterparties in negotiations."“Thomas Chou is excellent in understanding the industry and leads the team in working on the same.
