Practice Areas

Denise co-chairs Reed Smith’s Global Corporate Group. Based in Hong Kong, she has, throughout her career, focused on transactions mainly in Greater China and South-east Asia.

After an IPO, she continues to advise her clients on secondary debt and equity issues, spin-offs, corporate governance and compliance, and regulatory investigations. Throughout her career, she has also advised on a number of high profile IPOs, corporate restructurings and privatisations of listed companies in Hong Kong.
