***********************************************************
Han Kun Law Offices announced today (January 19) that it has opened a regional office in Hong Kong, with the aim of expanding its business beyond Mainland China and using Hong Kong as a springboard to "go global".
The law firm is one of the largest on the Mainland to specialise in corporate law services. It is ranked among Tier 1 Private Equity and Venture Capital - Local Firms by the IFLR1000 (International Financial Law Review). Partner Mr Chen Dafei said that the Hong Kong regional office is an inevitable development as his law firm services increasingly global clients.
"Opening a branch in Asia's financial hub is a natural business development for our firm. Our Hong Kong regional office will meet the needs of our increasingly global client base while advancing our strategy to expand our international business," Mr Chen said.
"Apart from allowing us to more efficiently serve our global clients, basing an office in Hong Kong also gives us access to the city's long-held rule of law, which is a valuable asset as we are planning to further develop into a global law firm," he added.
The Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion, Mr Andrew Davis, welcomed Han Kun's arrival in Hong Kong. He said, "Like many Mainland companies that use Hong Kong to go global, Han Kun will find Hong Kong gives it a springboard that will put it in touch with not only global financial clients but also many legal experts from around the world."
