About

As Head of the China Desk at Lewis Silkin, I act as a bridge between clients and lawyers throughout the firm to provide advice in all areas of law in the UK. I offer services to Chinese corporates, real estate developers, education institutions and high net worth individuals, as well as UK companies looking to invest or do business in China. I have particular expertise in setting up joint ventures between UK and Chinese education institutions and entrepreneurs in China who want to establish international schools in China.

In addition to advising clients on inbound and outbound investment, I help institutional and individual clients with UK visas for investment, work, study and permanent residence.
