Hong Kong
Greater China is one of the world's most influential and fast-evolving commercial regions. Sitting at the crossroads of the global marketplace, it serves as a critical gateway for businesses navigating complex cross-border commercial opportunities and disputes across mainland China, Hong Kong, and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
The region continues to attract international investment and expansion, thanks to its scale, deep capital markets, role in global supply chains, and leadership in technology and consumer growth which present significant opportunities. However, against the backdrop of a highly regulated environment, the region is often shaped by rapid policy changes and market developments.
Operating across mainland China and Hong Kong requires deep understanding, supervisory approaches and market practices, as well as the practical realities of doing business across borders. That's where we step in – our teams of experts deliver specialist legal services to large multinational corporations, global insurers, professional services firms, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions, as well as fast-growing technology, fintech and retail businesses active across or within the region.
We provide representation in high-value commercial litigation and international arbitration, managing complex, multi-jurisdictional financial disputes and asset recovery mandates. Our expertise also spans insurance and reinsurance, where we are a recognised market leader advising global insurers on high-stakes litigation, professional indemnity and complex coverage disputes.
Our Technology, Media & Entertainment team advises on data protection, cybersecurity, privacy compliance and fintech innovations, helping businesses navigate the region's rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Across corporate and commercial matters, we advise on the full range of issues, including cross-border M&A, capital markets, corporate finance, corporate restructurings, licensing and franchising transactions, and regulatory compliance.
We also guide employers and employees through intricate labour and employment challenges, while supporting clients on compliance, investigations and wider regulatory matters.
