In the past few years, law firms in Hong Kong have faced unprecedented hurdles stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic instability and heightened geopolitical tensions. Those emerging from the storm, however, have become not only stronger but also wiser. Leaders share with ALB how adversity has propelled them to finetune their operational strategies to seize new opportunities while also retaining top-class talent.
In its annual list, ALB picks out Asia’s outstanding lawyers working with offshore law firms. These legal professionals have exceeded client expectations and requirements, delivering high-quality advice and support, and being recognised by their clients for the same. The lawyers in the list were selected based on client recommendations sent directly to ALB. A few lawyers have been profiled below.
ALB: What kind of work has kept you busy in the past year?
Christopher Bickley: Apart from some of the first-of-its-kind IPOs, such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation’s RMB46.2 billion IPO on the SSE Star Board, I‘ve also handled a number of significant M&A and privatisations such as Haier Electronics Group’s scheme of arrangement.
Ensuring high-quality client services and creating contingency plans during covid time have also kept me busy. My roles as the head of office and board member mean I work closely with my fellow partners and department heads to ensure our clients’ needs are met, and our lawyers and staff are well-equipped during these challenging times.
