Mallesons Stephen Jaques’ regional corporate and M&A practice is based across our offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Australia.

Our lawyers have more than 20 years of legal experience advising multinational companies doing business in Asia and advising international and regional companies in regional M&A and capital market transactions in the region. We assist clients with corporate and commercial work including mergers and acquisitions, capital market transactions, private equity, foreign direct investment, restructurings and advice on corporate governance.

Our longstanding relationships with leading investment banks, financial advisers and regulators in Hong Kong, including the Securities and Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, ensure we are an effective partner to any advisory team.

We advise on the establishment of private equity funds, the acquisition of stakes in private and listed companies, offshore restructurings to facilitate private equity investment and future IPOs, as well as generally on exit strategies and transactions including by way of IPO, trade sale, alliance or merger.

Our experience extends across the key industries including financial services and insurance, energy, healthcare, manufacturing and retail, media, mining, technology, telecommunications, transport and infrastructure and commercial property.
