Profile
William specialises in contentious regulatory work and financial services and commercial litigation. He represents both institutional and individual clients in investigations by regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong (e.g., HKMA, SFC, CCB, ICAC, IA, Competition Commission and Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data), on matters including market misconduct, money-laundering, bribery and corruption, mis-selling, internal controls failure, and whistleblowing of employee misconduct. Benefiting from his in-house experience, he is frequently called upon to provide counsel on a broad range of regulatory compliance issues concerning financial institutions and listed companies, including emerging trends such as the use of Tech and virtual assets. William has been ranked by Who's Who Legal as a Futures Leader in Investigations and by Legal 500 a "Next Generation Lawyer" for Dispute Resolution in Hong Kong. William was one of the authors of the Hong Kong chapter of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigation (3rd-6th editions) and Lissack and Horlick on Bribery and Corruption (3rd edition). He is a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS).
