Clients have praised Ogier’s Hong Kong team for its high level of client service, especially in relation to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) regulatory requirements, in the newly published Chambers Asia Pacific 2020 rankings.
The accolades from the Asian market in the latest rankings follow hot on the heels of Ogier being named Asian Legal Business Offshore Law Firm of the Year recently.
Ogier has retained its position overall in the region, and has a new individual ranking for funds and ESG specialist Kate Hodson, who also featured in this year’s Asian Legal Business ‘top 40 under 40’.
Kate’s inclusion takes the number of ranked lawyers in Ogier’s Hong Kong team to five, with banking and finance expert Anthony Oakes promoted a tier, and Nathan Powell, Nicholas Plowman and Ray Ng all retaining their rankings.
Ogier’s Hong Kong team has recently acted on major deals in the region, including Foxconn Industrial Internet’s RMB 27 billion IPO, China’s largest domestic listing since 2015, LionRock Capital’s acquisition of a 31.05% share in footballing giant Inter Milan, and the launch of the $300 million Cybernaut New Frontier Venture Fund.
Hong Kong practice partner Nicholas Plowman (pictured) said: “We are delighted with this strong showing for Ogier’s Hong Kong team in Chambers Asia Pacific. Our team here continues to go from strength to strength, and the latest directory feedback demonstrates that clients really value our commercial, responsive approach.”
