Rachel’s practice relates mainly to insolvency, restructuring, regulatory, company and commercial matters. She joined Des Voeux Chambers in 2006 after winning a series of scholarships and prizes for academic excellence. She is qualified in three jurisdictions – Hong Kong, England & Wales and New York State – and has enjoyed establishing her practice in Hong Kong.

Rachel has acquired extensive experience in insolvency and restructuring matters, company and commercial litigation, as well as in the securities field.

She acts regularly for liquidators and a wide range of companies. Her company and commercial litigation practice comprises commercial trust matters, corporate claims, derivative actions, and commercial injunctions.

In connection with this, she has dealt with a number of corporate restructurings, schemes of arrangement, and privatisations, including amongst others, The Grande Holdings Limited and China Assets (Holdings) Limited schemes.

Her regulatory and securities practice encompasses market misconduct and related disciplinary, compliance and contentious matters. She advises clients in relation to the multifarious issues which can crop up in both contentious and non-contentious settings, and has acted both for and against the SFC in High Court proceedings.

In connection with these areas of practice, she regularly deals with complex issues of law and has advised and represented financial institutions, investors, listed companies and their directors, trustees, beneficiaries, regulators, and shareholders.
