Morrison & Foerster

Morrison & Foerster provides a ‘responsive service’ to Chinese corporates and banks engaged in HKEX IPOs, as well as on the issuer side advising on subsequent post listing compliance. A corollary of the firm’s broader TMT strength, the team receives a strong pipeline of work for start-ups and scale-ups in the sector seeking exits via IPO. The ’attentive and commercial’ Vivian Yiu has been instrumental to the firm’s success on the TMT front and also has strong knowledge of the new rules being adopted with regard to specialist technology companies, having been involved in the consultation process regarding the formulation of Chapter 18C. Notably, Yiu was also involved at the vanguard of the development of the SPAC regulations and has subsequently handled several completed/proposed listings following the adoption of the new listing framework for SPACs in January 2022. ‘Business-savvy’ senior associate Diana Tan  is also recommended.
