Founded in Paris in 1920, Gide is a leading international law firm with 12 offices spread throughout the world.
Gide is physically present in six regions of the world, with 11 offices, enabling it to act on cases globally.
Gide has advised Limagrain on its acquisition of Seed Asia International Limited, a Hong Kong company with two wholly-owned subsidiaries in Thailand and Cambodia.
This transaction is an important transaction for Limagrain as it gives them access to the high growth potential area of South-East Asia (Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka etc.) and proprietary genetic resources of high quality tropical corn which is well suited to other zones (Brazil, Southern China and Africa) where Limagrain operates.
The Gide team advising Limagrain was led by Hong Kong partner Gilles Cardonnel and included associates Nicolas Chan and Joanna Lee, and they coordinated their effort with leading domestic law firms - Chandler Thong Ek in Thailand and Bun & Associates in Cambodia.
