Daniel Wan is a barrister-at-law in Hong Kong. His practice spans IPO listings, corporate finance, ESG, regulatory and disciplinary investigations and hearings, civil litigation, and criminal defence.
In 2000, Daniel graduated with a first-class honours degree in law from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. He attained the highest marks of the year in both Criminal Law and Commercial Law, earning him the prestigious Cole & Cole Prize as well as the Eversheds Prize. He was then admitted as a solicitor of the High Court of Hong Kong in 2003 and of the Supreme Court of England and Wales in 2007. He became a partner at an international law firm in 2011.

Daniel values education and believes in the importance of giving back to society through philanthropy. He regularly delivers pro bono teachings in law and volunteers his expertise to assist those in need of legal services but lacking resources.
Through years of unrelenting effort, Daniel's contributions to the profession and to philanthropy have earned high regard from colleagues, clients, and the public. In 2024, the High Court of Hong Kong admitted Daniel as a barrister, marking a new pinnacle in his legal career.

This seminar offers a comprehensive exploration of the rules and practical applications of connected transactions under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

By combining clear explanations of statutory provisions with real-world case studies, the seminar highlights how companies can navigate issues such as asset acquisitions, financial assistance, joint ventures, and continuing transactions while ensuring compliance, transparency, and fairness. Participants will gain both technical knowledge and practical insights into exemptions, disclosure requirements, and shareholder protections, equipping them to manage connected transactions with confidence and integrity.
