2026 SIPAC M&A Roadshow Opens in Beijing with a Full Room
Beijing, November 9, 2026 — SIPAC today wrapped up the Beijing seminar of the 2026 SIPAC M&A Roadshow, with a full room, two lively panels and conversations that carried on well after the closing remarks.
Lawyers from SIPAC member firms in Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Kazakhstan, Thailand and Chile shared what they see on the ground:
- Panel 1, International M&A Best Practices: how due diligence findings shape price, conditions and warranties, not just whether a deal clears. Moderated by SIPAC Chairman Robert Lewis.
- Panel 2, Merger Control and Foreign Investment Review: what Chinese investors should plan for as screening regimes tighten across Europe and Central Asia. Moderated by Zibo LIU (AnJie Broad Law Firm).
After a welcome dinner on Sunday, the day opened with a visit to Zhong Lun Law Firm. Congratulations to our lucky-draw winners, who went home with copies of Robert’s 2017 M&A book《国际并购游戏规则》/ Why So Many Chinese Outbound Investments Fail.
Thank you to the Beijing Arbitration Commission / Beijing International Arbitration Court (BAC/BIAC) for their special support, and to everyone who joined us.
On Tuesday, November 10, the delegation continues with law firm visits in Beijing, then heads to Shanghai for the second roadshow seminar on Wednesday, November 11.
Participating SIPAC member firms: HEUKING (Germany), BUREN (Netherlands), PRK Partners (Czech Republic), Lakatos, Köves and Partners (Hungary), SSW (Poland), AEQUITAS Law Firm (Kazakhstan), Tilleke & Gibbins (Thailand) and Carey (Chile).
