Han Kun received high praise from clients and in the legal profession for its professional and efficient services. Selected testimonials include:
"The Han Kun team has done a great job in every task and project that they handled for us. They're very good at identifying key legal issues and providing effective solutions, and are professional while possessing good business sense."
"A lot of the healthcare projects involve M&A and IPO issues. Therefore, they need to understand venture capital as well as M&A and capital markets, including Hong Kong and US markets. Not a lot of lawyers are experienced in all those areas, but I think Han Kun is capable."
"The lawyers are responsive to our questions. The questions we ask are not simple or black and white, and they can utilize their experience and communicate with the relevant authority, then advise us on those matters."
"They have good knowledge of hi-tech companies and the technicality in the matters, so their advice is very helpful. When we say something technical or use jargon terms, the Han Kun lawyers understand what we are talking about and get our points very quickly."
