Value Proposition
Unparalleled Expertise & Distinctive Differentiation
Intricate familiarity with the law and regulations
We take pride in our outstanding success rate in securing regulatory approvals for our clients, often helping them to get first-of-its-kind licences, such as the first VA broker licence, RWA platform licence, approvals to be participating dealers for VA ETFs supporting VA-in & out and deemed licences for VA exchanges. This accomplishment is rooted in our extensive experience in the legal industry and SFC. Our heavy involvement in crafting the current Hong Kong VA regulatory framework has equipped us with an unmatched understanding of the securities regulations, licensing and compliance issues, particularly in the area of VAs.
Deep understanding of financial regulators’ practices
Our in-depth understanding of the regulations and policies (including the regulatory intent, issues and expectations for market participants) has been instrumental in guiding prominent global & local VA exchanges, traditional & VA banks, top-tier securities brokers & asset managers and family offices in the regulatory process. We have also advised a number of RWA projects and Web 3.0 companies on expanding their presence in Hong Kong. Our innovative mindset has been invaluable in formulating bespoke and forward-looking strategic advice.
Tailor-made and bespoke advice
We distinguish ourselves from other professional advisors by working with our clients to achieve desired outcomes, rather than merely taking clients’ instructions. Our service approach is tactical and strategic, and strives for witnessing the growth of our clients’ business through long-term collaboration.
