July 24, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HONG KONG—July 24, 2024—O’Melveny has received a trio of top practice recognitions from the China Business Law Journal (“CBLJ”)’s China Business Law Awards 2024. CBLJ named O’Melveny as a top practice in the following categories:
- Capital Markets (Hong Kong and overseas)
- M&A (Inbound and domestic)
- Healthcare, Pharma & Life Sciences
CBLJ noted that O’Melveny was fourth in 2023 among all law firms for Hong Kong IPOs by deal count. It added, “The firm advised Tian Tu Capital’s HKD1.13 billion IPO last year, the first listing of a PRC VC firm on the Main Board of the HKEX to date. The firm also represented cancer medication producer Adlai Nortye’s debut on the Nasdaq, the first US IPO of a Chinese firm since the China Securities Regulatory Commission launched measures to regulate PRC firms listing overseas.”
These recognitions reflect the strong, market-leading practices O’Melveny enjoys in these spaces. In 2024 year-to-date, O’Melveny has completed seven IPOs in Hong Kong and overseas, including for Laopu Gold last month. Ryanben Capital ranks O'Melveny second among all international and China-based law firms for Hong Kong IPO deal count as Hong Kong counsel over the past 24 months through June 2024.
O’Melveny has been consistently recognized as a top advisor for China-related M&A, having advised on high-value acquisitions, privatizations and investments over the past year.
The firm’s reputation as go-to counsel for life sciences transactions is reflected in various transactions completed in recent years, including fourteen IPO transactions completed in the past two years in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
The CBLJ awards are based on hundreds of nominations, recommendations and endorsements received from China-focused corporate counsel and legal professionals globally.
