Hilda Kan focuses on Hong Kong capital markets and public and private mergers and acquisitions. She has advised issuers, sponsors, and investors on a broad range of equity capital markets transactions, including initial public offerings, spin‑offs, transfers of listing, and rights issues, as well as takeovers, very substantial and major transactions, and other listed company acquisitions and disposals.
