Private Equity<\/span><\/h4>\n

The past few years have witnessed the burgeoning development of private equity (PE) funds across Asia-Pacific, particularly Hong Kong and Mainland China. PE funds have also gained popularity among high-net-worth individual investors and have become a key driver in the growth of the asset and wealth management business in Hong Kong. As the second largest PE hub in Asia, Hong Kong is well-positioned to expand its PE market. In addition, various new laws have been enacted in offshore jurisdictions increasing the costs for PE funds operating there and encouraging them to consider the choice of moving onshore.<\/span><\/p>\n

We advise listed and private companies and their subsidiaries, joint ventures, shareholders and high-net-worth individuals and investors involved in various M&A activities across various sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
