Chinese firm JunHe has hired capital markets partner Ye Yurong in Hong Kong from rival Han Kun Law Offices.
Ye focuses on initial public offerings, pre-IPO investments, acquisitions and investment in listed companies, regulatory compliance and general corporate transactions in Hong Kong. In 2016, she advised media production company China Digital Video Holdings Ltd. on a $38 million listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange's small-cap Growth Enterprise Market.
Ye joined Han Kun's Hong Kong association, Miao & Co., in January 2017 as a partner from King & Wood Mallesons, where she was counsel. Before that, she practised at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Morrison & Foerster.
Miao & Co. now has four partners – capital market specialists Felix Miao, Ethle Tang and Li Tao, and disputes lawyer Bonita Chan.
Meanwhile, JunHe has 11 partners in Hong Kong with the addition of Ye. The Beijing-based firm was one of the first Chinese firms to launch in Hong Kong, in 2003, by associating with local firm X. J. Wang & Co. The two firms merged three years later.
Both Han Kun and JunHe have some of the highest profits per equity partner (PEP) among Chinese firms. In 2017, Han Kun reported $1.073 million PEP while JunHe reported $1.045 million.
