Depth, as proof.

Practitioner notes written by the people who do the work: a question, a direct answer, and what to do about it. Organised in ten clusters that mirror how matters actually arrive. The library is being built now — first notes are in preparation.

Ten clusters

The map
Cluster

Disputes & Arbitration

HKIAC practice, enforcement of awards and judgments between the Mainland, the CIS, offshore centres and Hong Kong, interim relief and the new International Commercial Court.

Cluster

Cross-Border Playbooks

Practice-by-jurisdiction playbooks for the questions that rarely get written down: enforcing a CIS award in Hong Kong, recognising a Mainland judgment for a BVI holding company, building a source-of-funds file a bank will accept.

Cluster

Holding Structures

Hong Kong companies, BVI and Cayman layers, foreign-sourced income positions, treaty planning, substance and bank onboarding.

Cluster

Private Wealth

Trusts and foundations, succession and estate planning, family offices and governance for international families.

Cluster

Tax Positions

The territorial principle in practice: source of income, offshore claims, the refined FSIE regime, treaty access and withholding.

Cluster

M&A & Transactions

Cross-border deal mechanics: English-law documents, due diligence, joint ventures and closing across time zones.

Cluster

Sanctions & AML

Compliance in a neutral jurisdiction: what Hong Kong implements, what banks expect, and how to document a defensible position.

Cluster

Capital Relocation

Moving capital into a neutral jurisdiction: roadmaps, source-of-funds files, re-domiciliation and bank onboarding.

Cluster

Corporate Counsel

Running a group without a head-office legal department: retainers, contract flow, housekeeping and board support.

Cluster

Tech & Web3

IP and equity holding, token cap-tables, the VASP perimeter and founder-investor documents in a regulated jurisdiction.

Clear & candid We advise on international and foreign law. On matters of Hong Kong law, we work alongside locally licensed firms.
