Under the guidance of ‘skilful’ team head Luke Gannon, who is praised for his ’unrivalled experience’, DLA Piper has gained a strong reputation throughout APAC for its advice to fund managers and investors (including sovereign wealth funds) across a myriad of strategies and asset classes, including real estate, private equity and hedge. In this context, clients benefit from access, not only to a strong core team in Hong Kong but also lawyers in complementary areas, including tax and regulatory, as well as practitioners based in key fund centres including London and Luxembourg. As well as traditional asset classes, Gannon has also successfully picked up work in frontier areas including the burgeoning fintech/crypto space; notably, he recently advised a regional private equity firm on the establishment of one of the first tokenised art funds in Asia.
