A&O Shearman

Leveraging the expertise of corporate, finance and litigation lawyers, in particular, A&O Shearman deploys a multidisciplinary approach to financial services regulatory work for buy and sell-side clients, as well as fintech companies. Much of the work is generated by high-profile transactions in the sector, with the Hong Kong team often providing the necessary regulatory approvals to facilitate large-scale cross-border M&A transactions, forming part of a cohesive team with lawyers across the firm's vast network of offices. Contentious work is also a forte, with litigation head Matt Bower regularly handling investigations initiated by regulators, including as it relates to market misconduct.
