Office Chair: Neil Torpey

The Hong Kong office helps global banks, investment banks, hedge funds, private equity funds, and other institutional investors and multinational companies navigate Asia's complex legal and business environments.

Our lawyers in Hong Kong have extensive experience representing clients in a wide range of matters and, in conjunction with our offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo, advise clients in markets throughout Asia. Our market-leading reputation is evidenced by our numerous “Deal of the Year” and “Team of the Year” awards and by our consistently high rankings in leading legal publications.

Our Hong Kong-based practice groups include:

• A Securities & Capital Markets practice that regularly represents issuers and underwriters in a wide range of jurisdictions on equity and debt capital raisings, including public and private equity and debt financings, secured financings, and distressed debt trading. In 2010, we advised on nearly 14 percent of all equity funds raised, by value, on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE).
• A Real Estate practice that is consistently ranked Band 1 by Legal 500 Asia Pacific and boasts several Band 1 partners.
• An award-winning Project Development & Finance practice that Chambers Asia praises for its "extensive and profound knowledge of the field” and that has been recognized as an “In-House Community Firm of the Year” by ASIAN-MENA COUNSEL.
• A Mergers and Acquisitions practice that offers comprehensive legal counsel across the entire spectrum of domestic and international M&A transactions.
• An award-winning Employment Law Department that represents clients through all phases and types of employment litigation. We also have a dedicated anti-corruption practice that handles cases involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and U.K. Bribery Act.
• A Band 1 Leveraged Finance practice that Chambers Asia notes as “dominating on this front” and Legal 500 Asia Pacific commends for its “unique perspective and creativity.”
• A Private Equity practice that has won “Law Firm of the Year in Asia” from Private Equity Real Estate for four consecutive years and which represents leading investors and portfolio companies in China, Korea, India, Singapore, and elsewhere in Asia in buyout and growth capital transactions.
