I have acted for a wide spectrum of clients, including high-net-worth individuals, banks, insurance companies and construction companies.
I have experience in appearing as advocate in court hearings, including substantive hearings for contested matters. My banking in-house experience also enables me to provide a wider perspective and to offer practical and commercial solutions to clients’ legal problems.
I can speak and write English and Chinese.
