As ‘one of the strongest teams in the market’ with ‘a strong and friendly culture and great teamwork’, Mourant Ozannes’ Hong Kong office is well established in the region, handling BVI and Cayman-related corporate and finance work. Managing partner Paul Christopher is also local practice head of the corporate and funds group, and Simon Lawrenson is global practice leader for the finance and corporate practice. ‘Standout partner’ Danielle Roman heads up the banking and finance team in Asia and is a go-to name for fund work, while the ‘impressive’ Justine Lau leads the local litigation and restructuring and insolvency practice, and Claire Fulton is a key financing contact. At associate level, Lily Miao is notably experienced in fund finance work.
The London base of Mourant was recently bolstered following the appointment of Alex Last as managing partner of the office. Last relocated to the UK after several years in the firm’s Cayman office and is highly experienced in fund formation work and private equity mandates. Key recent highlights include advising private fund sponsors on the establishment and structuring of funds and fund finance matters.
