We operate a leading Hong Kong and US Securities & Capital Markets practice that covers Hong Kong, China and the Asia Pacific region. We focus particularly on serving Chinese companies on corporate restructurings, initial public offerings, other types of fund raisings, and mergers and acquisitions inside and outside China. We act as often for companies themselves as for financial advisers, underwriters and investors on those matters. We also offer compliance advice to companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
We have experience in all principal industries of China — from oil and gas, natural resources, transportation to real estate, telecommunications and financial services. Many of our clients are leaders in their respective industries. A further testimony to our strength is that we are consistently engaged in the largest and the most complicated transactions that come to market.
In Hong Kong, we regularly advise listed companies and investment banks on share placements, rights issues, open offers, convertible bond issues, takeovers and other corporate finance transactions. We are active in the development of the REIT market in Hong Kong, having taken part in nearly all of the REIT listings to date.
