Willa Legal Recognised in Legal500 Investment Funds Rankings for the Third Consecutive Year

Willa Legal is delighted to announce that we have once again been ranked in the Legal500 Hong Kong Investment Funds directory. This marks the third consecutive year that our firm has been recognised in this highly regarded ranking.

This recognition highlights our strong track record and good work in the investment funds space. We are especially pleased to be ranked alongside international firms with a long-established presence in this area, which we believe reflects the strength and quality of our specialist boutique practice.

We are particularly proud that this year’s recognition also reflects positive client feedback in the areas of:

•    Lawyer and team quality
•    Billing and efficiency
•    Sector knowledge

As a boutique investment fund firm, Willa Legal advises fund managers, sponsors, investors and family offices on specialist private investment fund matters. The firm is led by Founder and Practice Head Willa Chan, who is noted for her expertise in Hong Kong fund structures, including Hong Kong limited partnership funds (HKLPF), and her pragmatic and commercial advice on structuring private funds of different investment strategies, including both open-ended and closed-ended funds. 

Over the past year, we have continued to support clients on a range of sophisticated mandates, including:

•    Advising a Hong Kong SFC Type 9 licensed manager on the establishment and launch of a multi-asset fund structured as a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company with multiple segregated portfolios.
•    Advising a Hong Kong multi-family office on the establishment and launch of Hong Kong limited partnership funds for various investment strategies.
•    Advising a US-based blockchain company on the structuring and formation of a fund investing primarily in web3 and fintech-related private equity investments.

We are grateful to our clients for their continued trust and support, and we thank our team for their dedication to delivering practical, efficient and high-quality advice. We look forward to continuing to serve the investment funds community in Hong Kong and beyond.
