Lawyer Rankings

Hong Kong > Capital markets (debt)

Drawing upon strong local connections developed over many years’ existence in the local market and also able to leverage resources on the mainland, independent Hong Kong firm Deacons continues to pick up good market flow for domestic and PRC-based issuers and underwriters across a broad swathe of bond issuances. Team head Kevin Tong is pivotal to the firm’s success in the market, including as it relates to green/sustainable bonds and his work in relation to PRC Ministry of Finance’s offshore sovereign issuances in Hong Kong. Icarus Yuen regularly works alongside Tong on high-profile mandates, including on sovereign issuances, and also has strong traction among Chinese SOEs, which he regularly advises on their offshore bond issuances.
