What we do

Our main focus is cross-border business law. We assist large firms investing in, or acquiring, overseas companies. This can be from Hong Kong to Asia Pacific or Europe, Europe to Hong Kong, or Europe to Asia Pacific through Hong Kong.

Another strong area of practice is helping fundraising companies with reviewing or drafting term sheets, capitalisation tables and shareholders agreements.
