Leading international law firm Clifford Chance has advised Morgan Stanley, CLSA and other underwriters on biotech company Zylox-Tonbridge Medical Technology's US$330 million IPO and listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, under Chapter 18A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules for early-stage biotech companies.
