Zhong Lun Partner Han Hao Named One of the "ALB Dealmakers of Asia 2021"
Zhong Lun partner Han Hao was listed in the 2021 edition of "ALB Dealmakers of Asia" recently released by Asian Legal Business (ALB).
Mr. Hao has been long engaged in M&A, investment and financing in the real estate industry. Adept at navigating the legal intricacies of various projects by tapping into the commercial vision and integrated resources of Zhong Lun, Mr. Hao provides clients with solutions featuring forward-looking and innovative transaction structures. His outstanding services not only help achieve business goals but also deliver added values for the clients.
In more than 20 years of practice, Mr. Hao has accumulated extensive legal and business experience from advising on hundreds of high-profile real estate M&A mandates. Projects that have recently benefited from his expertise include Cinda Real Estate's acquisition of Huaikuang Real Estate, Poly Real Estate's acquisition of AVIC Real Estate, Go High Capital's acquisition of the Huoshenmiao business center, and SDP Investment's acquisition of U-Show Plaza, all of which are representative M&A projects against the backdrop of the real estate industry shifting more of its focus to existing property stock, expanding to the financial sector and building an industry eco-system.
Mr. Hao believes that the ability to help clients achieve their business goals is an important yardstick of a lawyer. Practitioners in M&A need to bear the commercial demands and interests of transaction parties in mind and use legal tools to strike a balance between their interests in the bid to consummate a transaction. A qualified M&A lawyer should be proficient in various legal skills and able to identify and make accurate judgment and assessment of legal risks in transactions. The capability to provide feasible transaction structures and solutions to complex problems and adopt an innovative approach to fulfilling clients’ business objects is also a must-have virtue for a qualified lawyer in this practice area. All these skills mean it’s getting increasingly demanding to be a lawyer practicing in M&A, which not only requires legal expertise but also industry insights. Mr. Hao also holds that a lawyer should uphold the pioneering spirit and develop capabilities to be a forerunner to deliver stable and long-term values for clients.
