Paul Hastings
Paul Hastings has appointed Zhou Quan as a partner at its Hong Kong office to strengthen the firm’s Greater China capital markets capabilities.
Before joining Paul Hastings, Zhou was a counsel at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s Hong Kong office. He previously worked at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Linklaters, both in Hong Kong.
Admitted to practise in New York and Hong Kong, Zhou focuses on Hong Kong and US listings, IPO compliance and M&A matters. He has extensive experience across technology, financial services, consumer products, life sciences, media and telecommunications.
Zhou is experienced in advising Chinese and international issuer clients. He has represented clients in several landmark transactions, including CTG Duty Free’s USD2.07 billion Hong Kong IPO, which was the largest in 2022, and this year’s Hong Kong IPO of Mixue Group. He has also advised listed companies such as Lanvin Group, Full Truck Alliance, Alibaba Group and GreenTree Hospitality Group on compliance matters.
This appointment marks the latest key addition to Paul Hastings’ Greater China capital markets team. In August this year, former Freshfields senior associate Ma Chongming joined the firm’s Hong Kong office as of counsel.
Raymond Li, Paul Hastings’ founding partner and chair of Greater China, said Zhou’s expertise and experience in capital markets aligned with the firm’s continued growth in this practice. The capital markets team in Greater China now comprises more than 60 professionals.
