Introduction
Patrick has been practising corporate law for over 20 years and has assisted clients from different jurisdictions in respect of their needs including fundraising through equity and debt, investments, corporate restructurings, joint ventures, takeovers, and mergers and acquisitions. Starting with pre-listing investments, Patrick guides clients through the process of successfully listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Following the listing, he continues to support clients’ legal needs, including regulatory, transactional and governance compliance, as well as secondary market fundraising through placings, rights issues and open offers. In addition to assisting clients in achieving public listings, Patrick has also represented listed issuers in spin-offs and privatisations.
Patrick is often involved in the early planning stages of corporate transactions, helping clients establish optimal structures to ensure that transactions can be completed in the most effective and efficient manner, with careful consideration of legal and regulatory implications. For public takeovers, Patrick regularly advises clients on Takeovers Code requirements. By maintaining ongoing dialogue with regulators, Patrick is well-positioned to advise clients on the latest developments in the regulatory landscape.
