Band 1

Ian De Witt's deep expertise spans both the advisory and contentious aspects of restructuring and insolvency-related work. He is a counsel of choice among liquidators and creditors.

He is the brain of Hong Kong and sets the tone from the top. He is also just an absolute pleasure to work with, always a gentleman bringing incredible knowledge to the matters.

His immense technical knowledge in insolvency is a given. However, what I consider as further distinguishing Ian from other lawyers practising in the same field is his extremely personable manner.

Ian knows his way around the market and the landscape. He has a commercial and thoughtful process.
