Ivy Wong

The KEMP Hong Kong Corporate team’s inexhaustible authority on the IPO process, Ivy has spent more than a decade helping companies make the leap from private to public. 

Valued by clients and colleagues as a tenacious problem-solver, she’s the cheerful warrior companies want at their side when facing down the jungle of compliance and regulatory hurdles that stand between them and their next growth milestone. 

Ivy’s expertise extends to M&A and bond issues on both Main Board and GEM listings, which reflects a keen commercial understanding of the goals and challenges of businesses across the capitalization spectrum. She routinely acts for issuers, and as company secretary for foreign and PRC companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Blazing a trail for clients is part of a day’s work. 

Several novel transactions she has structured have earned first-time approval from HKEX and became listing decisions/precedent cases. A bootcamp fitness fan during her “down” time, Ivy brings stamina and grit to every transaction, and loves the satisfaction of a deal well done.
