Most mid-market firms hit the same wall when they try to expand internationally: the local advisors don't have the foreign network, and the foreign advisors don't know the local market. We sit on both sides of every corridor — across the US, Europe, India, and Singapore — with extended partner reach into Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok.
Cross-border advisory is built for four types of clients. First: US and European mid-market companies expanding operationally into India — through GCC setup, joint ventures, or strategic acquisition. Second: Indian mid-market companies acquiring outbound in the US and Europe for market access, technology, or brand. Third: US and European strategics establishing a Singapore-anchored ASEAN presence. Fourth: Asian family offices and ASEAN strategics expanding into the US, Europe, or India.
The work crosses time zones, regulatory regimes, and capital structures. Done well, it unlocks markets that would otherwise take a decade to enter; done poorly, it produces the deals that show up in cautionary case studies.

We work the four corridors that actually matter for mid-market expansion today: US ↔ India, Europe ↔ India, US ↔ Europe, and the Singapore-anchored ASEAN corridor — with extended partner reach into Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok. Every engagement is staffed with partners on both sides.
Strategic acquisition or sale across the corridor, with sector-specific buyer/seller networks on both sides and integrated diligence.
Global Capability Center design and stand-up in India for US and European mid-market firms. Cost model, location, talent, governance.
Local partner identification, ownership architecture, governance framework, and the integration plan that makes JVs actually work.

Cross-border growth equity and private credit placement, leveraging family offices and private capital across all four geographies.
RBI, FEMA, US CFIUS, EU FDI screening, MAS / Singapore structuring, and tax across multiple regimes — coordinated through our partner network of regional counsel.
Direct introductions to Singapore family offices and sovereign wealth for mid-market US, European, and Indian targets — Singapore as the structural hub for any cross-border SEA transaction.
Cross-border timelines are dictated by regulatory clearances as much as commercial diligence. Our role is to compress the controllable variables and prepare for the ones that aren't.

Local-partner identification, target outreach or buyer outreach, JV / acquisition / GCC structuring. Variable timing.

Cross-border engagements run on a defined project fee plus monthly retainer through execution. Success fees apply where the engagement qualifies under regional M&A advisor frameworks.
"Project fees range from $50,000 to $150,000 depending on corridor and complexity, with monthly retainers from $10,000 to $25,000 through execution. Success-based fees, where applicable, follow regional advisory standards and are documented in writing."
Our Cross-Border Corridor Diagnostic returns a structured view of the market, regulatory landscape, talent, and capital environment for your target corridor — and a defensible recommendation on whether to enter via acquisition, joint venture, or organic build.
Thirty minutes to talk through your corridor, your timeline, and whether we are the right team to help you navigate it.
