AnJie Law Firm has become the latest Chinese firm to enter Hong Kong after forming an association with a local law firm led by former Dechert Hong Kong office head Basil Hwang.

Beijing-based AnJie now has a formal association with Hwang Hauzen LLP, a Hong Kong law firm that Hwang founded late last year. The firm focuses on financial regulatory matters related to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and cryptocurrency-related work. It also advises on Hong Kong Stock Exchange-related transactions such as public takeovers and acts as outside company secretary for listed companies.
