Baker McKenzie

With dedicated resources from Hong Kong and also able to draw from experts through APAC and globally, Baker McKenzie is a popular choice among regional and international financial institutions across a range of domestic and cross-border advisory and contentious mandates associated with banking, securities, funds, fintech, insurance, and payments. Recognised as ‘one of the best regulatory lawyers in the Hong Kong market’, Karen Man provides ’high-quality’ advice to clients seeking to navigate the patchwork of regulatory strictures associated with launching new products, setting up new businesses, and in the context of transactional work in the space. Man is also very adept at advising on regulatory matters associated with work at the intersection of technology and financial services, including as it relates to advice in the context of the establishment of virtual banks and robo-advisory platforms. Benefiting from in-house regulatory experience at the SFC, Grace Fung is recommended for fintech and payment-related matters. Cynthia Tang heads up the contentious offering and regularly handles enforcement actions and investigations undertaken by Hong Kong regulators, as well as excelling in multi-jurisdictional matters.
