Philip's practice focuses on three key areas: representing Chinese investors on their outbound investments; representing global financial investors on their investments in Asia, particularly China; and advising on public M&As involving Hong Kong-listed companies.
Educated, qualified and having practised law in both China and the UK, Philip is equally comfortable with both legal systems and can understand and bridge the differences between the two across a wide range of corporate transactions.
Philip speaks Mandarin, Shanghainese and English.
