OPTIMISTIC FOR 2022 AND HONG KONG
M
ayer & Associés (MA) is a French and International Law Firm founded in Hong Kong in 2001. The firm specializes in the economic migration of companies from Europe to Asia Pacific, particularly China, and from Asia Pacific to Europe, particularly France. Our firm also provides expert legal advice to both corporations and individuals across a variety of dedicated practice areas.
2021 was an excellent year
A new start in 2020
The link between Hong Kong and mainland China is stronger than ever. The City’s legal system and taxes, which remain unchanged, attract Chinese investors doing cross-border transactions. In 2021, MA has completed complex acquisitions and equity partnerships between large French groups and Chinese investors. More information on these deals can be found on the news page of MA’s website. MA is very optimistic about HK’s future as the place where Chinese investors will conclude their international deals.
MA’s new logo adopted in September 2020 reflects the Firm’s values: integrity, good governance, a responsible attitude, and a relationship with clients built on trust without compromising our independence. Our clients’ trust in us requires great attention that cannot be exemplary without a commitment to these values. We implement tactfully our KYC (Know Your Client) due diligence obligations, ensuring that our clients and their files are legitimate and deserve our dedicated attention.
Constant monitoring of new legislation MA monitors closely any new legislation having an impact on its clients and takes any appropriate action in relation thereto. New legislation protecting directors’ personal information came into force in 2021. MA promptly informed all its concerned clients and subsequently provided tailor-made assistance to protect their interests in accordance with their instructions.
