The ‘detailed and meticulous’ team at Slaughter and May provides ’high-quality, responsive and succinct advice’ to issuers and sponsors seeking Hong Kong, US and English law advice across a range of capital markets transactions in Hong Kong. Benita Yu ‘can offer unparalleled insight into most complex and tricky issues’ and is one of several lawyers in the team which have excellent underlying regulatory prowess as a result of either current regulatory ties (as is the case with Yu, who is a current member of the Listing Review Committee of the HKEX and Deputy Chairman of the Takeovers and Mergers Panel) or previously held in-house regulatory positions. John Moore, who is ’very helpful and hands on’, co-heads the team alongside Yu, and ‘provides valuable advice to the sponsors based on his knowledge and experience’.
