Jingtian & Gongcheng holds a strong reputation in the capital markets sector, with Elaine Lo leading the firm’s offering. Its capital markets offering was further bolstered by the arrivals of Vivian Yiu and Huang Ke from Morrison & Foerster in September 2024. Nicholas Chan is often engaged in finance transactions and IPOs and Jason Du is skilled in both investment-grade and high-yield debt offerings, while M&A specialist Stephen Luo and Stella Yeung are key names to note in the corporate department. On the contentious side, the practice is well-regarded for its capabilities in international arbitration. Chi Ho Kwan is vastly experienced in shareholder and contractual disputes, while Lee Kar Yee Clare is versed in contentious commercial matters.
