Clifford Chance

Clifford Chance is a popular choice among a stellar roster of banking and funds clients to advise on a myriad of regulatory issues, both on a standalone basis as well as in the context of transactional work. In this context, not only is the firm able to call upon market-leading product experts who act on the front end of deals, but also core regulatory experts who are at the cutting edge of developments in the market. Although it does handle purely domestic work, many of the mandates handled by the team have a cross-border complexion, where the firm is particularly well-suited to act by virtue of its ability to work alongside colleagues with product and regulatory expertise in key global offices, including in the US, UK and Europe. Rocky Mui handles non-contentious matters, both in relation to conventional funds/banking regulatory matters as well as within the fintech space – a sector which he has particular expertise and insight. Donna Wacker heads up the overarching APAC financial regulatory group and specialises in contentious mandates including enforcement actions and internal investigations. Financial services luminary Mark Shipman retired in May 2023.
