We are project-oriented and deal-driven. Engagements begin at the urgent point, run to the transaction, and end when the goal is reached.
Buy-side and sell-side counsel for transactions where governance and taxation cross borders.
Our core is Canadian and Hong Kong lawyers and business executives who have spent careers inside complex transactions and demanding circumstances.
We restructure companies in preparation for IPOs and public financings, and guide them onto the exchange that fits.
Our chair spent 25 years taking companies onto North American exchanges before funding in Asia.
Private placements, growth capital and strategic investment from investors we know by name.
Access is the product. We connect clients with family offices, fund managers and hand-picked private investors across Asia.
We set up and manage local operations for clients entering Asian markets.
We provide insight into Asian business cultures and are familiar with the laws and customs throughout the region.
For companies rethinking their dependence on a single market, the United States above all, Asia is the obvious next room.
Being early matters here. We put first movers in front of the demand: finding business in Asia, sourcing product in Asia, and distributing what you make at home across the region. Canadian companies looking outward are a particular focus of the firm.
Independent trustee work in cross-border transactions, and short-term in-house counsel when a deal needs a lawyer inside it.
When the initial goals are achieved, our clients move on without long-term costs.
Our signature: invitation-only lunches that put visiting companies at the same table as family offices, fund managers and hand-picked investors.
A road show works when the room is right. Visiting companies concentrate on delivering their message; we concentrate on finding the audience, and we arrange exclusive one-to-one meetings around the lunch.
