About me
I’m here to support my clients on the non-contentious side of shipping law. This covers shipping finance, sale and purchase, completion services and registration.
I work with financial institutions, banks, ship owners and ship managers. Dual-qualified in England and Wales and Hong Kong, I can take on cases in both jurisdictions.
I take a 360-degree approach to every matter that crosses my desk, ensuring clients receive robust support each step of the way. I consider the client’s situation and preferences along with any legal risks to provide creative solutions that enable them to address issues and achieve their goals.
My passion for maritime law extends beyond the workplace. I do pro bono work for the Hong Kong Maritime Museum and I’m also involved in efforts to reform Hong Kong’s marine legislation.
