Highly attuned to market developments and benefiting from good relationships with the regulators, Norton Rose Fulbright is a popular choice advising across a broad range of ECM and related matters, including listings and follow on offerings, pre-IPO investments, spin-offs, public M&A and ongoing compliance. Under the steady leadership of the vastly experienced Psyche Tai , the team has developed particular strength advising issuers and underwriters on mid-market HKEX IPOs, including within the TMT sector. Counsel Aldo Chan  also provides valuable assistance on HKEX IPOs, with Chinese issuers also benefitting not only from his strong legal credentials but also Cantonese and Mandarin language skills. Harold Tin  oversees the firm’s US securities practice in Asia which was recently strengthened by the arrival in August 2023 of Ethan Chen from Kirkland & Ellis. Terence Lau left the firm in February 2023.
