Psyche Tai, an M&A partner in the Hong Kong office of Norton Rose Fulbright commented:

“Hong Kong has seen positive growth in M&A activity since the start of the year, and we’re pleased to have taken a large share of the associated legal work. This is the result of our strong public M&A credentials and a focus on M&A over the past couple of years. It’s been a year for opportunistic buyers, and we expect the upwards growth in M&A activity to continue.”
