Paul is a criminal litigator with a focus on white-collar crimes, securities, and regulatory enforcement matters. He has been handling a wide array of cases involving complex commercial crime, corruption, money laundering, and fraud.
He frequently represents clients in tackling investigations and prosecutions taken by various governmental or regulatory bodies, including the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK), the Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB), the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), the Hong Kong Police Force, the Department of Justice, the Immigration Department and the Customs & Excise Department.
Paul is the first native Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking partner of our Criminal Defence Department with law degrees from both Civil Law and Common Law jurisdictions and the first solicitor of the firm who has passed the Legal Qualification Examination in the Guangdong-HK-Macau Greater Bay Area. Such qualifications and experiences have equipped him with a great edge in dealing with PRC-related matters and clients, in particular in assisting the listed companies which have nexus with PRC in dealing with commercial crime and/or regulatory investigations against them.
As an advocate, Paul appears before the Magistrates’ Courts and the District Court for bail applications, pleas in mitigation, trials, and other ancillary applications. He is also selected by the Department of Justice as a fiat prosecutor in prosecuting cases at the Magistracy level.
