Deacons

Boasting strong capabilities across the full range of TMT mandates, Deacons is led by Machiuanna Chu, a specialist in cross-border investments in emerging technologies. The team assists various clients, from cloud computing and healthcare tech businesses to film and TV studios, with instructions across M&A, JV, data, licensing, IPOs and investment transactions. Charmaine Koo, whose practice spans AI and licensing issues, and advertising specialist Theresa Luk advise international media and entertainment players on a range of matters concerning production and distribution. Another key workflow is IP-related work, where Catherine Zheng is a key name, as is litigator Ian Liu.
