With a team made up of lawyers with Hong Kong and US qualifications, K&L Gates provides an international perspective to regional clients across a range of their pan-Asian private fund structures, including private equity, hedge fund and venture capital. In this context, the team 'can deal with complex fund structures', and is well-versed at advising on innovative products emerging from the US - ensuring that it is a popular choice in a challenging market.
