Carey Olsen

Tim has joined Carey Olsen's dispute resolution and litigation team in Hong Kong.

Tim has over twenty years’ experience representing a wide range of Asia Pacific-based clients in all aspects of commercial dispute resolution, from corporate shareholders and liquidators to high-net-worth individuals. He advises on and litigates high value, cross-border management, shareholder, commercial, insolvency and corporate restructuring disputes, often with a connection to Hong Kong, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.

He is particularly skilled at handling high-stakes management and shareholder disputes and other contentious matters arising out of distressed corporate and investment vehicles.

In addition to being a Chartered Arbitrator, Tim is an experienced advocate who has appeared in numerous cases before first instance and appellate courts and in arbitration.

Prior to joining Carey Olsen, Tim was a partner of a multi-jurisdictional dispute resolution and investigations practice based in Hong Kong and before that was a partner and head of the Insolvency and Dispute Resolution Group at another leading offshore law firm in Hong Kong, where he was described by Legal 500 as “undoubtedly the best offshore dispute resolution partner in Hong Kong” providing “very measured and strategic advice on contentious insolvency matters, as well as broader commercial disputes".

Tim is admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales (non-practising) and Hong Kong (non-practicing).  He was called to the bar in Hong Kong in 2003 (non-practicing) and was admitted as an attorney in the Cayman Islands in 2009.  He has been a practising solicitor of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court since 2013.
