Dentons Hong Kong is among the law firms recognized for its leading role in the acquisition of a controlling stake in Hua Lien International, which was shortlisted for M&A Deal of the Year at the IFLR Asia-Pacific Awards 2025. The result will be announced on 16 April 2025.

Dentons Hong Kong advised Guang Dong Agribusiness Group Corporation, a leading company established in the PRC and directly wholly-owned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and its subsidiary Guangken Rubber (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. in the acquisition of a controlling stake in Hua Lien International (Holding) Company Limited (969.HK), which then triggered a mandatory general offer obligation under the Hong Kong Takeovers Code. This transaction has set a new precedent of its kind in the Hong Kong market and the transaction team was led by partner Gordon Ng.

Decided by an internal panel of judges, the IFLR Asia Pacific Awards focus exclusively on celebrating the most exciting legal innovation in cross-border transactions that reached financial close in 2024.
