Lawyer Rankings
Hong Kong > Capital markets (debt)
(Leading individuals)Deeply embedded into the local ecosystem, both from a regulatory, cultural and business view point, as a result of the legacy firm’s longstanding roots in Hong Kong, Mayer Brown effectively combines regional sensibilities with an international mindset to good effect for underwriters and issuers engaged in DCM transactions under New York, English and Hong Kong law. New York-law qualified partner Jason Elder has a strong reputation advising on global offerings of high yield and investment grade debt, as well as advising on mandates within developed economies, and is also well-versed at handling work within emerging and frontier market jurisdictions, including Mongolia and Indonesia. Thomas Kollar also excels at cross-border mandates (including Rule 144A/Regulation S) involving a breadth of DCM products, and has a similarly wide geographical reach as Elder, including work in relation to Indonesian, Mongolian and Vietnamese sovereign bond issuances. Guiping Lu has an excellent reputation advising banks as underwriters on debt raised by PRC companies, including his involvement on the first Shanghai FTZ bond offering involving an offshore trustee.
