Practice Areas

Tim has practiced as a litigator in Hong Kong for twenty-five years, including two years with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. Although he focuses on commercial and regulatory disputes and enforcement (often, but not solely, in the financial services space, and commonly opposite regulators and law enforcers), he has a broad practice which also includes non-contentious advisory support. He regularly advises clients on matters involving regulatory compliance (including anti-corruption and anti-money laundering), risk-management, crisis-management, and internal investigations. Clients often look to him when faced with complex, sensitive and/or high-stakes issues. He has been widely recognised for many years as one of Hong Kong’s leading practitioners in that space. Tim is admitted to practice in Hong Kong and England and Wales, and speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
