There exists an abundance of investment opportunities which bring with them attendant risks for private equity and venture capital firms. Alongside fund formation, structuring, operating and investment considerations, private equity and venture capital firms often require legal advice to help navigate a host of strategic risks as they make investments across Asia. Our Hong Kong lawyers have broad experience in representing financial sponsors, and also corporates into which financial sponsors invest, providing commercially minded and strategic guidance.
