Services & Industries

We are a client’s connection to the local market and act as their local eyes and ears.

“Doing one’s homework” is essential before engaging in a new investment, expanding an operation naturally or through merger or acquisition, maintaining status quo during an integration, or closing one’s operations. When combining the complexity of the ever-changing regulatory requirements, a volatile or sometimes unknown business climate, and a system that favors local entities, having a trustworthy advisor with boots on the ground becomes essential. JMK’s decades of experience guiding businesses in Asia empowers our clients to gain a higher understanding of the market so they can efficiently and effectively conduct their business and succeed in a new and different market. We provide simplistic to creative solutions time after time.
