An Asian foothold for businesses working between East and West.
Structures, transactions, HKIAC arbitration and asset protection at the level of an international firm — handled by a small senior team, without a conveyor belt. On matters of Hong Kong law, we work alongside trusted local firms.

We won't propose a structure your bank won't accept.
And we won't take on a dispute we don't see winning. Once we are engaged, we run the matter with the depth of an international firm — and speak to you plainly. At every key point of a matter you have direct contact with a partner and a fixed SLA on timing and reporting.
- 01Initial meeting and conflict check, then a written assessment of your situation.
- 02A proposal with a clear fee range and scope before any work begins.
- 03The matter is run with regular updates and direct partner access.
- 04A result report and a recommendation on next steps.
