Our Hong Kong office,* in conjunction with the firm’s Singapore office, advises Asia-based clients seeking regional and international representation, as well as international clients headquartered in the United States, Europe and the Middle East, on their investments and other commercial interests across Asia.
Our Hong Kong office is fully integrated into Akin’s firmwide system of cross-border, cross-practice collaboration—a reflection and conduit of the knowledge, experience and values of the firm as a whole.
Our lawyers in Hong Kong, who are qualified in a number of jurisdictions—including Hong Kong, England and Wales, the United States and Australia—have broad and deep experience counseling Asian and international clients on litigation and arbitration, private and public investments, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures (JVs), financial restructuring, fund formation, regulatory and compliance, securities and financial institutions litigation, and regulatory investigations.
As a function of Akin’s global collaborative system, our Hong Kong office is also a portal for Asian regional, U.S. and international clients into a legal services network that is available around the clock. Consequently, Akin’s Hong Kong office also offers clients direct access to counsel in more than 250 areas—ranging from the traditional, such as disputes, corporate and finance, to the cutting edge, such as technology, renewable energy and cybersecurity—linked across offices worldwide.
