Allen & Overy has a hugely experienced Hong Kong-based disputes team with a distinguished track record acting for high-profile banking and corporate clients on contentious matters. The firm also offers expertise in regulatory investigations and mis-selling claims, leveraging the strength of its fraud, white-collar crime and money laundering practices. It is particularly noted for its work on multi-jurisdictional disputes across the Asia-Pacific region, with clients now also benefiting from the firm's PRC joint operation, Lang Yue Law Firm. The team is increasingly involved in debt recovery mandates, and contentious trusts and probate, and also capably advises liquidators on insolvency disputes.
