Fiona is well versed in fintech matters, providing comprehensive and considered advice. She is always timely with deadlines, and can also work under tight turnaround times to provide clients with cutting-edge opinions considering the ever-changing fintech landscape."

David commented "It is fantastic to see our Hong Kong office has been promoted in the bandings and I am delighted to have been ranked alongside my colleagues Judy and Fiona. This increasing recognition reflects the hard work of all of our team in Hong Kong and the number of complex mandates that we continue to win. With further additions to the office in the near future and hopefully the completion of a number of significant deals which are being worked on, I am sure that Appleby Hong Kong will continue to be recognised as the go to offshore firm in Hong Kong and the PRC for various practice areas."
