About

Ross Long joined Asia’s leading asset manager Nikko Asset Management’s senior management team to lead all global legal functions in 2013. Long
has extensive legal and regulatory experience across multiple Asia Pacific jurisdictions. His top level legal and financial roles have included group counsel and executive management member for the CLSA Group, partner at Lovell White Durrant and also at Parker & Parker. ‘The relationship between corporate counsel and law firms has changed a lot for the better, over the past 10-15 years,’ says Long. ‘Both have adapted well to the rapidly changing environment and the 21st century of global law and finance.’ For him, the greatest challenge is always ‘getting the right balance between helping to drive a business forward but at the same time protecting it and minimising legal risks.’
