Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has bolstered its dispute resolution group with the hire of partner Tim Mak from Herbert Smith Freehills in Hong Kong.
Mak specialises in both contentious and non-contentious financial services and regulatory matters. Besides Herbert Smith Freehills, Mak has also worked at Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission for two years.
“With 15 years (of) on-the-ground experience in Hong Kong, including acting for PRC clients listed in Hong Kong on SFC matters, Tim knows the market and knows the regulators. His experience and language skills will ensure the best possible advice to our clients as they navigate the changing Hong Kong regulatory waters,” said Freshfields’ Asia managing partner, Robert Ashworth, in a statement.
