Securities

Grandall Law Firm is a leading firm in securities transactions in China.  We are one of a handful of domestic firms licensed by the State Council, China’s highest executive ruling body, to provide legal advice on the Chinese securities field.  Our securities attorneys were involved in some of the earliest initial public offerings on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.  Each year, our firm continues to be involved in key securities deals, and Grandall’s attorneys involved in the Securities practice group are highly regarded as experts in this area. In addition, our Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing offices maintain close relations with the relevant Chinese authorities such as the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).     

Our attorneys have also assisted a large number of Chinese firms in listing abroad on foreign exchanges.  We have advised both on initial public offerings and other legal matters for foreign-listed clients, such as compliance issues (often in coordination with securities counsel in other jurisdictions). To date, we have acted as Chinese legal counsel to issuers and underwriters on various exchanges including the NYSE, NASDAQ, AIM (London), HKEX (Hong Kong), SE (Singapore), Osaka Securities Exchange and the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.
