About

Provided by Mourant

Our lawyers in Hong Kong provide extensive multi-disciplinary and in-depth legal advice across a range of practice areas including corporate, investment funds, banking, finance, restructuring and insolvency, litigation and capital markets in relation to four core jurisdictions. The Hong Kong office provides over 90% of its advice on BVI and Cayman Islands law matters, which reflects market practice in Asia.

Our finance practice has advised on some of the highest profile and complex leveraged acquisition financings in the market requiring multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional advice. Our client list includes many of the world's private equity sponsors, managers, investors and service providers.

The firm's specialist focus on private equity globally is unique amongst offshore law firms, advising on the formation, structuring and regulation of investment funds. The addition in 2015 of a contentious restructuring, insolvency and litigation practice gave the firm real-time and an 'on the ground' contentious offering.

We are best known and have developed a reputation in Hong Kong for our work on the most complex and demanding transactions where our strength-in-depth and hands on multi-jurisdictional partner led approach can make all the difference.

Since the establishment of the Hong Kong office we believe that we have advised on some of the most significant and highest profile matters in the market in Asia.
