With a strong presence on the Mainland and in Hong Kong, including lawyers who are locally as well as US and UK-qualified, King & Wood Mallesons is particularly adept at advising Chinese companies (including SOEs) as issuers across a range of debt offerings. The firm is also very skilled at advising Chinese financial institutions setting up and drawing down on their MTN programmes, with Song Yue and the ‘practical and commercially sensible’ Michael Lu recently acting for China CITlC Bank International on its issuance of $500m Tier 2 subordinated notes under its $3bn MTN programme. Working alongside the firm’s litigation practice, the team has also been active for a number of beleaguered Chinese real estate companies on liability management and formal restructuring processes in light of the economic headwinds facing the sector. Hao Zhou heads the team that also includes Richard Mazzochi, who as part of his broad banking and finance practice often handles work for bond trustees.
