"Clients value the high-quality, tailored, advice, and my focus on acting in their best interests and finding pragmatic solutions to their legal issues."

"Most of cases which I advise on involve legal issues in more than one jurisdiction, inluding Mainland China, BVI, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the US to name a few.  The international experience that I have gained through working on cross-border disputes has been invaluable. 

I genuinely care about my clients and work to build long-term, trusted, relationships through consistency and reliability.  Clients value the high-quality, tailored, advice that I provide, and my focus on acting in their best interests and finding pragmatic solutions to their legal issues."
