Summary

Practice Areas:

  • Corporate and Commercial
  • Banking & Finance
Berg

Although I head the firm`s Corporate & Commercial Department ( which is a role that I have fulfilled for more than 24 years) and as a result become involved in a wide variety of work, I am happiest working on corporate deals, both public and private, in particular mergers, acquisitions and leveraged buy-outs.

As a result of spending some years of my career specialising in banking law, I am also actively engaged in banking and financing work.

My approach to most of the work is to co-ordinate teams involving one or more fee earners in the firm.

I also fulfil a number of administrative roles:  Compliance Officer for Legal Practice; Money Laundering Reporting Officer;  Complaints Partner; and Data Protection Officer.  I also deal with all professional indemnity issues on behalf of berg.

Particularly in light of my function of handling complaints, I consider client care, both for those clients with whom I work directly and also more widely across the firm, to be of paramount importance.

Experience

I trained and subsequently worked in the City of London for a number of years.

I also spent more than 3 years practising as a corporate, commercial and banking lawyer in Hong Kong.

I have also represented a number of listed companies, in Hong Kong as well as in England.
