I am an employment law specialist with over 15 years of experience advising multinational corporations across APAC. As Head of People & Reward Asia at Freshfields, I have built and led a cross-border team of more than 20 lawyers spanning Greater China, Singapore, and Vietnam, driving growth and delivering exceptional client outcomes.
I bring deep expertise in complex, multi-jurisdictional employment and incentives matters, including people-related issues in cross-border M&A, regulatory compliance, employee share plans, contentious employment disputes, and global investigations.
I have a proven track record of developing new product areas, expanding client relationships, and creating innovative solutions that align legal strategy with business objectives.
