Innovation. It\u2019s at the core of economic development. We are at the heart of the innovation economy in Hong Kong and have long had a focus on advising on investments into emerging companies in technology and life sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n

We regularly represent Venture Capital (VC) firms and institutional and strategic investors on venture capital transactions at all stages of the funding cycle from angel and seed investment, through the alphabet rounds, and to exit by trade sale. The experience of the lawyers in our TMT practice lends itself to the industry knowledge and awareness demanded for this work. We have significant experience advising on investments led by VC firms in leading global investment locations, and we are regularly instructed by law firms seeking co-counsel support on Hong Kong legal representation for venture investments.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are deeply committed to the development of an innovative culture and community in Hong Kong. This commitment has led to a vibrant practice representing founders of emerging companies. We regularly represent founders on the protection of their interests in the course of financing rounds and the course of exits by trade sale. We advise on cap table management, rights between founders, maintenance of business management control, corporate structure and planning for exit. We regularly structure, draft and advise on employee and management incentive plans to align incentives and retain key persons as the business scales. We also advise on founder and other shareholder disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lawyers in our VC practice regularly engage with the investment and founder community in training and learning sessions. We are active in local networks at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, Hong Kong Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park and Cyberport. We have been invited to speak on venture investment topics as guest lecturers at a number of universities in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
