Linked Reviews

General business law (asialaw)

Work highlights

Advising a major Macau-based multi-business holdings company on the reversion of casino assets to the Macau Government following the expiry of land-based casino concessions. The mandate includes structuring agreements between the company and its gaming subsidiary and handling major connected transactions under Hong Kong Stock Exchange rules. The $450 million matter demonstrates significant complexity due to its highly regulated nature and strict completion deadlines.

Advising a prominent Macau-based shareholder on the $340 million capital restructuring of a local airline company. The mandate involves preparing, negotiating and drafting restructuring documentation. The transaction carries complexity due to involvement of a state-owned enterprise counterparty and the need to navigate compliance requirements across different legal systems of Macau SAR and mainland China.

Advising a minority shareholder on the $110 million capital injection into Macau International Airport Company to support the airport's major expansion project. The work involves structuring and implementing the capital restructuring, including coordination of multiple investment rounds from both private shareholders and public funding sources. This represents a strategic infrastructure development for Macau's future growth.
