Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has advised CITIC Securities (Hong Kong) Limited as sole sponsor on the global offering and H-share listing of Nanhua Futures Co., Ltd. on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Psyche Tai, the head of Norton Rose Fulbright's Hong Kong office and capital markets practice, commented:
