Our Financial Services Regulatory and Litigation Team provides practical legal and regulatory advice to Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) licence applicants, SFC licensed firms (securities brokers, fund managers, sponsors and underwriters), listing applicants, banks and listed companies (as well as their directors and management staff).  We work closely with the management teams and legal/compliance officers of our clients, assisting them to discharge their day-to-day legal and compliance obligations and providing them with effective and practical solutions.

On the litigation aspect, we handle enquiries and investigations by securities regulators, professional bodies and other government authorities.  Examples are investigations, court and/or disciplinary proceedings brought by the SFC, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, HKICPA, Financial Reporting Council, the Police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption. We also handle other commercial litigations such as shareholders’ disputes, employment disputes, contractual disputes and “mis-selling”/negligent advice claims.

We have solid experience in defending listed companies’ directors (on insider dealing and other market misconduct offences), securities brokerage firms, warrant market makers, securities analysts, auditors, investment banks and retail banks.

The team is led by Mr. Philson HO (Partner), a lawyer and certified public accountant who has about 30 years of experience in legal, compliance, finance, audit and listed companies’ regulations.  A former litigation partner of a major international law firm in Hong Kong, Mr. HO used to work in the SFC mainly responsible for licensing and compliance of Hong Kong financial services intermediaries.

Insurance Defence Litigation is a very specialized area, full of traps for the unwary. We understand the insurers’ needs of dealing with claims efficiently and effectively, which is to settle claims quickly by offering to pay what is fair and equitable.

Very often lawyers are prone to be drawn into long battles which are in nobody’s interests, not even the lawyers. Our extensive experience in motor claims, employees’ compensation, slip and falls as well as property damage cases enables us to assist insurer clients by accurately evaluating the merits of a case, and navigating over the potential pitfalls of the litigation process.

We also act for insurers in defending insurance-related claims and advising on policy interpretations and disputes. We represented them in arbitration in insurance disputes.

Timeliness and pro-activity are the best friends of an insurance company and the guideposts of our insurance litigation practice. From claims investigation to conducting effective defence in court, our team of solicitors strives to be proactive in conducting the cases so as to minimize our clients’ legal risk exposure. We offer tailor-made and innovative solutions to achieve our clients’ operational objectives.

Development in insurance litigation is progressing at a rapid pace. We provide our insurer clients with up-to-date information on judicial and legislative development in this area. In our insurance litigation practice, relationship with our client is a long-term proposition.

Our personal injury specialists have comprehensive understanding of the needs of both claimant and defendant clients. We are capable to develop tailor-made strategies and strive for the best solutions for you.
