King & Wood Mallesons
Client SatisfactionWorking alone as frequently alongside Mainland practitioners, the ‘very professional and analytical’ Hong Kong-based team at King & Wood Mallesons provides ’constructive and practical solutions’ to Chinese issuers and underwriters across a wide array of Greater China-related ECM mandates including, inter alia, IPOs, block trades, and follow-on offerings. Team head Candy Chan combines regulatory and transactional knowledge to good effect on both M&A-related securities work, as well as IPOs; notably she recently advised global luxury yacht maker, Ferretti S.p.A., on the dual primary listing on the Euronext Milan, becoming the first company to be dual-listed in Hong Kong and Italy. John Baptist Chan and Corey Zhang are also key members of the team, with both recently advising Vision Deal HK Acquisition Corp on its de-SPAC transaction, involving a business combination with target Quwan Holding Limited, marking Hong Kong’s first-ever dual track de-SPAC transaction.
