Jones Day – Delivering responsive and dedicated client service

With the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s recent greenlight to the listing of ‘new economy’ enterprises (including pre-revenue biotech companies, and companies with dual or weighted voting structures), Hong Kong is widely expected to take center stage as a global IPO destination.

“The new regime in Hong Kong favors innovation and growth”, says Joelle Lau, Partner-in-Charge of Jones Day’s Hong Kong office. “We are seeing a surge of interest and Japanese companies looking to raise capital may wish to consider Hong Kong”.

Jones Day has unique expertise in this area and is ready to help. Last year, the firm successfully completed the Hong Kong IPO of Precision Tsugami (China) Corporation (HKSE: 1651). This was achieved through a spin-off of the entire Chinese-based operations of its parent company, renowned machine-tools manufacturer Tsugami Corporation (TYO: 6101).
