Mayer Brown announced today that four leading capital markets partners, Guiping Lu and Philip Hyde, have joined the firm’s Corporate & Securities practice in Hong Kong, along with four lawyers.

The prominent debt capital markets team led by Mr. Lu and Mr. Hyde join from K&L Gates.

Their arrival further bolsters Mayer Brown's award winning capital markets team in Hong Kong, as the firm continues to grow a prominent and globally integrated capital markets product offering in the key financial centers of New York, London and Hong Kong.

“Our international and PRC institutional client base in Hong Kong continues to demand deep expertise in Hong Kong, English and New York law governed capital markets products.  Guiping and Philip add significant bench strength to our existing debt and equity capital markets offering,” said Corporate & Securities partner, Jason T. Elder, a member of the firm’s global Management Committee.

Terence Tung, senior partner of Mayer Brown in Asia, added: "As part of a leading global law firm, we continue to invest in key industries, sectors and products, aligned with the firm’s existing areas of strength, such as capital markets.  Our new partners and their team have joined us in Hong Kong at an exciting time of growth.  Their extensive experience will undoubtedly enable us to build upon the success of our Corporate & Securities practice."

Today’s announcement follows on from the recent addition of Oil & Gas partner Joanne Du from Baker Botts to the broader Corporate & Securities practice in Hong Kong.
