U.S. law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom has advised billionaire Laurent Junique, the founder and CEO of TDCX, in his move to take the company private at an equity valuation of approximately $1.037 billion.

Hogan Lovells guided a committee of independent and disinterested directors established by TDCX’s board of directors to negotiate the terms of the merger.

Headquartered in Singapore, TDCX provides digital customer experience (CX) solutions, enabling brands to acquire new customers, build customer loyalty and protect their online communities. 

The transaction is currently expected to close in the second quarter of 2024, subject to closing conditions.

The Skadden team was led by partners Rajeev Duggal (Singapore) and Jonathan Stone (Hong Kong), and supported by tax partner Victor Hollender, antitrust partner Andrew Foster and employment partner Joseph Yaffe.

The Hogan Lovells team was led by Stephanie Tang, partner and head of private equity in Greater China.
