Overview
Established in 2008, our Hong Kong Office provides clients doing business in Hong Kong, China and the rest of Asia with advice on local matters as well as access to our global platform. Our Hong Kong lawyers boast over 50 collective years of practice in Asia. In addition to our U.S. law capabilities, we provide advice on Hong Kong law through our affiliation with Chapman & Co.
The composition of the office reflects our clients: international, multi-dimensional and focused on connecting Asia with the rest of the world.
Chambers Global recently recognized our Hong Kong team for its "well-integrated network and strong complementary abilities." In addition, our lawyers were noted for being "responsive" and the fact that they "understand a businessman's viewpoint."
Our lawyers speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English; have trained or are qualified to practice in half a dozen countries in Asia and around the rest of the world; and have handled cross-border, cross-cultural and cross-language transactions for the duration of their legal careers.
We handle a wide variety of corporate and transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, fund formation, private equity, venture capital, foreign direct investment and the establishment of joint ventures. We have extended our strong international relationships in the private equity, lodging and gaming, and sports industries to Asia. Our Hong Kong-based lawyers work regularly with their counterparts in our United States, European and Latin American offices to provide the most sophisticated and efficient advice and solutions on all types of complex cross-border matters.
Our China team has an extensive and in-depth understanding of People’s Republic of China laws and regulations and our knowledge and experience with government officials and agencies allow us to navigate the country’s intricate bureaucracy and regulations to help our clients accomplish their goals.
