The Role This is a full-time, on-site solicitor position in our Financial Services & Fintech Disputes team, based in Hong Kong.

• Drafting and negotiating regulatory and commercial documentation
• Representing clients in financial and regulatory disputes, including litigation, arbitration and enforcement proceedings
• Supporting clients through licensing applications, SFC investigations, and compliance matters
• Contributing to a team that values intellectual rigour, creative problem-solving, and forward-thinking approaches to regulatory change Strong analytical skills are essential, experience in litigation is preferred.

• Qualified Solicitor in Hong Kong
• Strong practical experience in financial-services disputes and regulatory investigations
• Experience in litigation — you are comfortable in adversarial settings and can think on your feet
• Excellent analytical, drafting, and negotiation skills
• Genuine comfort with technology — including a working understanding of AI tools in legal practice, and the willingness to use them well
• Fluency in English; proficiency in Cantonese and Mandarin Strongly preferred:
• Cross-border or transnational experience — particularly across HK, Singapore, and Mainland China
• Prior experience in financial regulation, fintech, or crypto-related disputes
• Experience working in an interdisciplinary, technology-literate team
• A track record of building client relationships in a boutique, high-trust environment Why Join Us
• Specialist practice, not a generalist firm — you will be deep in the work from day one

• A team that values independent judgment — we want lawyers who have opinions and are prepared to defend them
• Genuine cross-border exposure across HK, Singapore and other jurisdictions globally
• A firm that treats technology and AI as serious practice tools, not as a trend
• A culture of learning and thoughtful dialogue — in a firm where your contribution is visible and your voice matters
