The firm ranks #67 on Vault's top 100 law firms and #75 on the American Lawyer 100. As Partner in the firm’s Hong Kong office, I am responsible for overseeing and managing all cases in my portfolio. I have extensive experience in Arbitration, Commercial Litigation including bankruptcy and corporate insolvency and in Alternative Dispute Resolution. I focus on three principal areas of practice: 1. Commercial Litigation including bankruptcy and corporate insolvency: I act for my clients across a diverse range of industries in a variety of claims including breach of contract, enforcing employment covenants, adverse possession and recovery of possession of premises. After judgments have been obtained, I take action to enforce the judgments with a view to achieve a result that aligns with the commercial objectives of the clients. I also advise on insolvency including claw back transactions and restructuring. 2. Shareholders’ Disputes I represent majority and minority shareholders across a wide range of business sectors and in domestic and cross border shareholders’ disputes in court and in arbitration proceedings. Where possible, I explore alternative dispute resolution to minimize costs but maximize the benefits for clients.3. Construction & Planning: I represent a wide spectrum of clients including building owners, contractors, developers and project managers. At the initial planning stage, should clients not be satisfied with the authorities’ decisions on zoning, planning or building permission, I represent them in their appeals or review before the tribunals or courts. If there is a dispute during the construction phase, I advise and take action whether by arbitration, mediation or litigation for a cost-effective result to clients. Show less
