Haldanes, Solicitors and Notaries
Since it was established in 1975, independent Hong Kong-based firm Haldanes, Solicitors and Notaries has had a core focus on defending clients in criminal mandates and has developed ‘a strong reputation in handling white-collar crime’ and anti-corruption matters. The team, which is led by the vastly experienced Felix Ng, is highly adept at handling enforcement and investigation proceedings before a myriad of agencies, including SFC, HKMA, and ICAC, with many of the matters involving cross-border considerations and involvement from other international regulators. Native Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking partner Paul Wang has developed a strong reputation advising on complex commercial criminal matters often involving a significant nexus to the mainland, where he is appreciated for his ability to provide ’clear and pragmatic advice’. The ‘unbelievably hard working, clever and caring’ associate Christina Ma is also developing an excellent reputation in the field, regularly working alongside Wang on high-profile matters, including cases of fraud and money laundering.
