Highlights 

The firm has expertise in the financial services regulatory and investment funds area. The firm was active in the formation of private equity funds and hedge funds and in the authorisation by the Securities and Futures Commission of retail funds including unit trusts and mutual funds and investment-linked assurance schemes.
