As an international financial centre and a key hub for global capital markets, Hong Kong offers unique geographical and institutional advantages in cross-border investment and financing, capital markets transactions and cross-border dispute resolution. The city serves as an important gateway for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas and for international capital entering China. H.M. Chan & Co has been deeply rooted in the Hong Kong market for many years, with extensive experience in cross-border transactions, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions and related areas.
Shihui and H.M. Chan & Co have worked closely together for many years, building a deep and enduring relationship of trust. Building on this long-standing foundation, the two firms are taking their collaboration to a new level by entering into a deeper strategic association and embarking on a new stage of development together.
Recently, the two firms have jointly advised on a number of notable cross-border transactions. Among them, JD.com's acquisition of Hong Kong grocery chain Kai Bo Food Supermarket was named a Deal of the Year 2025 by China Business Law Journal, a leading legal publication. This successful collaboration underscores the complementary strengths and professional capabilities of both firms in handling complex cross-border matters.
This association is both a key milestone in Shihui's international strategy and a practical step for the two firms to bring together their complementary strengths for our clients. Shihui will fully integrate the resources and capabilities of both firms to deliver market-leading services, helping clients seize opportunities and navigate challenges across Asia and global markets.
The Management Committee of Shihui commented:
"2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Shihui's establishment. We see the launch of our Hong Kong office and this association as an opportunity to further deepen our cross-border legal capabilities. We are committed to supporting major national initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and to providing our clients with the legal support they need for their global business ambitions."
The Founder and Managing Partner of H.M. Chan & Co commented:
"We are delighted to enter into this association with Shihui. With its outstanding professional capabilities and strong reputation, Shihui is a natural strategic fit for our practice. We look forward to working closely with the Shihui team to further strengthen our cross-border capabilities and provide clients with deeper and broader professional support."
