Squire Patton Boggs and Grandall Law Firm are acting for Chinese solar farm operator Xinyi Energy on its $465 million Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO), with Deacons and JunHe advising underwriters, and Milbank advising the sponsor and coordinators.

The Squire Patton Boggs team was led by partners Francis Li and Wendy Fong, while the Grandall team was led by partners Junji Ni, Xiaochun Chen and Cheng Cai. 

The Deacons team was led by partners Ronny Chow and Maynard Leung, while the JunHe team was led by partner Yi Wang.
