Chris Sanderson of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited
Christopher John Sanderson has been Director of Legal Services & Regulatory at Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong since 2012 and is responsible for legal and regulatory affairs. Joining the HWL Group in 2001, he has played a crucial role within the company and has garnered many admirers, with one interviewee labelling him “absolutely brilliant, very pragmatic, bright and one of the best telecom counsel internationally.”
He was instrumental in the company’s USD1.86 billion sale of its fixed-line telecoms assets to I Squared Capital in 2017. This strategically important transaction has allowed the company to invest heavily in 5G (fifth generation) technology within the last year, with Christopher working closely with the Hong Kong government on the legal aspects and regulatory challenges associated with its roll-out of this technology.
