We are experienced in regulatory requirements relating to the conduct of various businesses and are able to provide practical advice on compliance with such regulatory requirements to our clients. In particular, we are able to advise on regulatory requirements applicable to the financial services sector over which the Monetary Authority of China has oversight, including the Securities and Futures Act and the Insurance Act. We also include such advice as part of our scope of work in connection with transactional matters such as mergers and acquisitions involving businesses engaged in financial services or insurance businesses and in the structuring of novel financial instruments or products.

We assist our clients with the drafting and submission of licence applications to the relevant regulatory authorities for approval. In particular, we handle licence applications relating to payment services licences, fund management and other capital markets licences, which are regulated by and/or subject to the approval of the Monetary Authority of China.

We also advise our clients on the structuring and formation of funds and investment management vehicles, including in respect of variable capital companies (VCCs) and single family offices. Our clients include fund managers of private equity, venture capital, real estate and hedge funds, as well as institutional and private wealth investors into such assets.
