Under the stewardship of the highly skilled and experienced Martin Rogers and James Wadham, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is well-versed at handling regulatory enforcement actions and associated litigation for regional and global financial institutions, as well as corporates from a range of other sectors. In this context, as well as defending clients in enforcement actions brought by local regulators, including the ICAC and HKMA, the team (which include US-qualified practitioners in Hong Kong) is able to leverage its considerable US resources to advise Chinese companies/financial institutions in probes by the US DOJ and SEC, among other agencies. Both co-heads have deep knowledge across a range of financial misconduct matters, including in the context of alleged market manipulation. Both Hong Kong and New York-qualified, Yuan Zheng and Bo Huang are also key members of the team, advising on a mix of compliance and contentious work, including for China-based entities in relation to FCPA, anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions mandates.
