Supporting Clients Across Transactions and Financing
In its research commentary on HHP, IFLR1000 continues to highlight the firm’s work in M&A and Banking & Finance, with particular reference to its experience in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and mining sectors.
In M&A, HHP regularly advises Chinese and international companies on domestic and cross-border investments, acquisitions, joint ventures and corporate restructurings. The firm has developed substantial experience in supporting Chinese companies with outbound investment and multi-jurisdictional acquisitions, as well as assisting multinational companies with investment and business restructuring in China.
In Banking & Finance, HHP advises banks, trusts and other financial institutions, as well as corporate borrowers, on a range of financing matters, including loan facilities, syndicated financing, security and credit enhancement arrangements, cross-border financing and related transaction structures. The team works closely with clients to align financing objectives, transaction structures and regulatory requirements, while ensuring that financing documentation, security arrangements and transaction execution are effectively coordinated.
Across complex matters involving multiple parties, industry-specific regulation and different jurisdictions, HHP focuses on the client’s underlying commercial objectives, helping to manage legal risk while taking into account regulatory requirements and practical implementation.
Teamwork in Complex Matters
Complex transactions and financing matters require not only individual experience, but also effective teamwork and sustained institutional knowledge. The continued recognition of three HHP lawyers across M&A and Banking & Finance reflects the firm’s ongoing investment in its teams and the depth of experience developed across these practices.
For cross-border matters, HHP also works closely with local counsel in different jurisdictions through its longstanding international relationships. HHP became the first member firm from mainland China to join Meritas in 2011. By combining coordination by Chinese counsel with support from lawyers on the ground, HHP helps clients manage multi-jurisdictional legal work and align advice across different jurisdictions with a common commercial objective.
