Global law firm Goodwin has appointed Bosco Yiu as a partner in the firm’s private equity practice in Hong Kong.
Yiu’s appointment follows the recent relocation to Hong Kong of private investment funds partner Greg Barclay, and last year’s arrival of leading private equity lawyers Douglas Freeman and Victor Chen.
Yiu has vast experience representing private equity firms, investment banks and public and private companies in connection with mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, IPOs on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and general Hong Kong corporate regulatory and compliance advice. He has particular expertise with Hong Kong takeovers, privatisation, private and public mergers and acquisitions, reorganisations and equity capital markets transactions.
“Hong Kong remains a principal hub for private equity investments, transactions, and capital markets activity,” says Yash Rana, Chair of Goodwin’s Hong Kong office. “Bosco brings strong capital markets and transactional experience to further support Goodwin’s diverse client base in Hong Kong and the Asia region. We are delighted to welcome Bosco to the Goodwin partnership.”
Yiu received his LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School of York University and a Postgraduate Certificate in Law from The University of Hong Kong. He is admitted to practice in Hong Kong, England, Wales and Ontario, Canada. He is fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
