Clifford Chance advises Huaxin Cement on its Hong Kong Listing By Way of Introduction

Leading international law firm Clifford Chance has advised Huaxin Cement Co., Ltd. on its B to H Share listing by way of introduction on the mainboard of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The Greater China team was jointly led by partners Virginia Lee and Jean Thio. They were supported by counsel Lorna Lyu, senior associate Qingyu Wu, associates Joy Chen, Jiwen Peng, Ryan Ho, trainee Ashley Sun and transaction supporting officer Evelyne Zhu.

Virginia commented, "We were delighted to support Huaxin Cement on its successful listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange – the first of its kind from the Shanghai listed companies. Our team is consistently able to deliver integrated corporate expertise in advising complex capital markets transactions. We look forward to seeing the company continue its success in making a substantive impact to its industry and the capital markets."
