He advises clients including corporations, banks, investment funds, private client/ family groups and not-for-profit organisations on topics such as fund formation, public and private company M&A and restructuring, capital markets transactions, financing and services arrangements, intellectual property exploitation and employee remuneration planning in Hong Kong and across Asia.
