Ltd (“Zero”), a Tokyo Stock Exchange listed company, for approximately HK$305 million (equivalent to approximately £23 million).

The Pinsent Masons Team advising on the deal was led by Corporate Partner Kenneth Chong, assisted by Senior Associate Denise Chan and Trainee Solicitor Kris Cheung in the Hong Kong office.
