Praised for its ability to ‘suggest creative solutions to solve problems rather than erect roadblocks’, Baker McKenzie is a popular choice among Chinese issuers and international banks across a range of Hong Kong-related capital markets transactions, including IPOs, spin-offs and takeovers of listed companies. In this context, as well as being able to resource matters utilising capital markets mandates with domestic, US and PRC qualifications, the firm is also able to leverage the expertise of lawyers within complementary practice areas, such as tax, employment and M&A lawyers. Team head Christina Lee provides ’very efficient and professional’ advice across a range of Hong Kong transactional and regulatory compliance matters, as well as on international issuances, including a number of Swiss GDR transactions following reforms to the China-Switzerland Stock Connect rules in 2022. Hong Kong, English and New York qualified partner Ivy Wong is also recommended and is appreciated for her ‘good communication and analytical skills’.
