Norton Rose Fulbright
Acting on its own, as well as often working alongside practitioners in Singapore and Shanghai, Norton Rose Fulbright‘s ’very knowledgeable’ Hong Kong team provides ‘practical and commercial advice’ to banks, broker-dealers, asset management firms, and fintech entities across a broad swathe of their regulatory requirements associated with their products and services. Team head Etelka Bogardi, who splits her time between Hong Kong and Singapore, is ’incredibly knowledgeable’ across the regulatory landscape, including on fintech matters, and also benefits from an ‘insider’s perspective’ gained as a result of her previous role as senior counsel at the HKMA.
