About

I am an employment Managing Associate in our Hong Kong office. I am a Hong Kong and Australian (NSW) qualified lawyer. In addition to working in Hong Kong, I have also worked in Tokyo, Japan. I also hold a Certified Information Privacy Professional / Asia (CIPP/A) certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

My clients come from a broad range of industries including financial services, technology and communications, media & entertainment, and retail & hospitality. My work often involves an international element and I support clients on the full spectrum of the employment lifecycle. Having been seconded to one of the largest US based tech firms working as their Asia Pacific employment counsel, I am also uniquely positioned to understand the needs of my clients from their lens.
