Corporate Finance & Capital Markets

Robertsons’ Corporate Finance & Capital Markets team is an active provider of Hong Kong legal and regulatory advice and services for offerings on the local and international capital markets.

We have been involved in a wide variety of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) on both the Main Board and GEM of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, representing issuers, underwriters and sponsors. In addition, we have advised numerous issuers on listings in the US and Singapore.

We work with issuers and investors from an early stage in the potential listing process, advising on matters such as suitability for listing, structuring, reorganization and pre IPO financing. We also act on dual listings as well as advising on the Hong Kong aspects relevant to overseas listings. We also act on the reverse take overs of Hong Kong listed vehicles.

In addition, our team has significant experience in all forms of public offerings, including rights issues, open offers, placements and offers for warrants and debt securities as well as acting on a wide range of listed group mergers and acquisitions.

In conjunction with our Regulatory Department, we advise on ongoing compliance matters on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing Rules including connected transactions, the various levels of notification and approvals required for disclosable transactions and also on the more general disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules. We also advise on the application of the Takeover Code in relation to substantial shareholders.

Our team is retained by the Boards of listed companies to advise on such areas as share dealings, the operation of audit and remuneration committees, internal controls and the conduct of board and shareholders meetings.
