Financial Services & Fund

We provide the technical rigor of a global practice with the personalized focus of a specialized partner. While our team possesses the pedigree of “Big Law”—having accumulated years of experience in top-tier international firms and government regulatory bodies— our structure allows us to offer this institutional-grade service to institutions, family offices, private credit providers, and specialized private funds.

We bridge the gap for mid-market corporations and private managers who require the same high-level legal sophistication typically reserved for top-tier global banks, but delivered through a more accessible, conflict-free, and partner-led platform. We also serve as a trusted “boots on the ground” partner, offering seamless Hong Kong co-counsel support for complex on-shore fund and regulatory matters.

Our Expertise

• Institutional-Level Regulatory Advisory: Strategic navigation of SFC Type 1, 4, and 9 licensing applications and uplifts, including specialized advisory for private credit “vessel” structures.
• Private Credit &  Financing: Advising on sophisticated credit facilities, secure revolving debt, and the collateralization of unique asset classes.
• Digital Asset & Fintech Leadership: Legal frameworks for VASP/VATP platforms, RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization, and digital asset custody mechanisms.
