    My focus

    Investigation, Regulatory, and Licensing

    In recent years, I have represented various listed companies and their directors and provided legal advice on investigations by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Securities and Futures Commission, and other government agencies. I have also represented the government agencies in criminal investigation of a listed company and its directors and senior management.

    In addition, I also provide legal advice on the applications for licenses and related matters from the Securities and Futures Commission by different financial institutions.

    Compliance

    I have advised Hong Kong-listed companies on corporate governance and legal and regulatory compliance matters. In addition, I have provided legal advice and professional training to various listed and private companies on data security, data protection, licensing, and other compliance matters involving companies in the sector of, among others, arts and culture, education, property management, construction, manufacturing, securities, asset management, catering, entertainment, and events.

    Commercial and Capital Market

    I have vast experience in a broad range of corporate transactions including initial public offering (IPO), secondary fund raising, and other Hong Kong and overseas capital market transactions. I was involved and successfully completed over 10 IPOs on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. I have also participated in various commercial and legal due diligence projects, which involved the preparation of due diligence reports and drafting and negotiation of various transaction documents for the clients.

    Looking ahead

    Rapid development and growth in the Greater Bay Area will create plenty of growth opportunities and challenges for individuals and businesses. We will continue to be the solution and bridge to our clients for their development and opportunities.
