Harneys has won three Deal of the Year Awards from China Business Law Journal for its work on New Frontier Corporation’s acquisition of United Family Healthcare, SenseTime Group Inc.’s Series C Prime financing, and Fosun Tourism Group’s listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Harneys advised New Frontier Corporation on its US$1.3 billion acquisition of United Family Healthcare, one of the largest premium private healthcare operators in China.

Harneys represented Fosun Tourism Group, the largest tourism resort group in the world by revenue and subsidiary of Fosun International. The company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2018 with an IPO of US$428 million. Partner Raymond Ng acted as Cayman counsel.
Head of Transactional Asia, Paul Sephton, said: “These awards highlight the outstanding performance of our Asia teams who have acted on a number of ground breaking deals both in China and elsewhere. I thank our clients for their support and congratulate each of the lawyers who worked on these transactions.”
The China Business Law Journal’s awards are presented annually and are based on hundreds of nominations from in-house counsel and other qualified observers, and research conducted by China Business Law Journal’s editorial team.
