King & Wood Mallesons

Acting for a broad range of listed companies, large corporates, and financial institutions, King & Wood Mallesons remains highly active in Hong Kong’s restructuring and insolvency market. Leveraging its leading mainland China practice, the firm is particularly adept at advising on cross-border mandates. Co-chair Sheldon Tse is a key figure for PRC-related regulatory work, while co-chair Helena Huang leads matters involving US clients and associated considerations. Fellow co-chair Barbara Chiu is central to bankruptcy disputes and global recovery actions, and Edmund Wan, also a co-chair, brings expertise in litigation and alternative dispute resolution. The team further strengthened its corporate financial restructuring, insolvency and special situation offering in July 2025 with the hire of Damien Whitehead who joined from an in-house role.
