Loeb & Loeb counsels U.S., Asian and other foreign and multinational companies, financial institutions and individuals in their local and cross-border business matters throughout Asia. Our Asia Practice combines the resources of more than 30 attorneys and professionals in the firm’s U.S., Beijing and Hong Kong offices to deliver sophisticated transactional advice, regulatory counseling and litigation services, primarily in the areas of capital markets, corporate finance and entertainment law.
We represent Asia-based companies doing business or seeking to expand or raise debt or equity capital in the United States, India, Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as U.S. and multinational companies seeking to invest in or expand their businesses in Asia. Whether the work is inbound or outbound, our clients turn to Loeb & Loeb for critical business transactions that will extend their global reach.
Loeb & Loeb is recognized as a pioneer of securities transactions for China-based clients, and our achievements and rankings attest to our leadership role. More than 75 Chinese companies have relied on us to help them go public in the United States, including some of the very first China-based issuers to list on U.S. exchanges. Thomson Reuters ranks Loeb & Loeb #1 among law firms in underwritten public offerings by companies headquartered in China as measured by total number of deals closed over a three-year period from 2010 through 2012.
We also have substantial experience representing Chinese issuers, buyers and special counsel in going-private transactions. In Hong Kong, our attorneys have advised clients in numerous initial public offerings and secondary fundraising transactions. Our core strengths also include private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and securities compliance, investigative and litigation matters.
Loeb & Loeb is also a pioneer of securities transactions for India-based companies. In 2012, we helped an India-based company list on the New York Stock Exchange in a first-of-its kind transaction involving the U.S. IPO of a new offshore parent company at the same time as our India-based client became its indirect controlled subsidiary. We also have substantial experience representing India-based companies in raising equity and debt financing in private offerings to U.S. investors, as well as in U.S. acquisitions and investments, and other U.S. law matters.
In the entertainment and media space, we represent a number of Asia-based enterprises, creative artists and entrepreneurs seeking to expand into the U.S. entertainment industry, as well as U.S. media and entertainment clients seeking to grow and secure their interests throughout Asia.

Loeb & Loeb’s offices in Beijing and Hong Kong, in conjunction with our coast-to-coast practice in the United States, allow us to bridge cultural, time zone and language barriers to offer seamless access and service to our foreign and domestic clients.
Our clients include public and private companies, special committees, boards of directors and individuals representing a broad range of industries whose legal requirements are as diverse as the countries in which they do business and the global consumers they serve. We also represent financial intermediaries in the capital-raising process, such as underwriters, placement agents and financial advisors, whose issuer clients are active in Asia.
