H.M. Chan & Co is delighted to announce that it has entered into an association with PRC law firm Shihui Partners, following approval by the Law Society of Hong Kong. The association coincides with Shihui Partners’ tenth anniversary and the establishment of its Hong Kong office and represents a significant step in deepening the long-standing relationship between the two firms.

China continues to be a key driver of global economic activity, presenting substantial cross-border investment, capital markets and M&A opportunities. Hong Kong, as an international financial centre and global capital markets hub, plays a central role in connecting China with markets across Asia and the rest of the world.

Against this backdrop, H.M. Chan & Co will further strengthen its China offering by leveraging Shihui Partners’ onshore capabilities and network, while Shihui Partners will be able to take advantage of H.M. Chan & Co’s Hong Kong capabilities and experience and expertise in cross-border legal services to support clients’ outbound growth and international expansion.

The founders of the two firms have worked closely together for many years, building a deep and enduring relationship of trust. Building on this long-standing foundation, the two firms are taking their collaboration to a new level by entering into a deeper strategic association and embarking on a new stage of development together.

Over the years, the firms have worked together on a number of significant cross-border transactions, including JD.com’s recent acquisition of Hong Kong-based Kaibo Food Supermarket, which was recognised as one of the Deals of the Year 2025 by China Business Law Journal. This track record demonstrates the firms’ proven ability to jointly execute complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions for clients through a well-established and integrated working relationship.

Looking ahead, the two firms will continue to integrate their resources and experience across key Asian markets and beyond, enhancing their ability to support clients internationally and in China. This association represents not a new alliance, but the natural evolution of a longstanding collaboration. It builds on a proven partnership to deliver a seamless “one firm” offering that creates value beyond the sum of its individual components.

Mark Chan, Managing Partner of H.M. Chan & Co, commented:

“We are delighted to formalise our long-standing relationship with Shihui Partners through this association. What distinguishes this collaboration is its foundation in a deeply established professional and personal relationship, rather than a newly formed arrangement.

We have developed a highly aligned and integrated approach to cross-border transactions over time and this association represents a natural evolution of that collaboration. By combining our respective strengths, we are well positioned to deliver seamless, commercially focused legal support across jurisdictions, creating meaningful added value for our clients.”

The Management Committee of Shihui Partners commented:

“The establishment of our Hong Kong office, together with this association with H.M. Chan & Co, represents an important step in strengthening our international platform and offering for our clients. The H.M. Chan & Co team has a market-leading corporate and corporate finance practice and shares our dedication to providing high-quality, innovative legal services for our clients in their international business and investment activities.”
