Vivien Teu & Co LLP would like to inform our clients and friends that we are moving forward with renewed emphasis on our founding philosophy as a boutique law firm focusing on core areas, with the end of our association with Mainland China law firm Llinks Law Offices in November 2018.   Our firm shall continue to strengthen and build on our established reputation as a leading practice in asset management and financial services, covering corporate and commercial work involved in investments and financing arrangements across asset classes, as well as private wealth management and trusts.

In line with the firm’s strategy of offering knowledge and expertise in specific areas, we are delighted that international tax lawyer Kenneth Yim has joined our firm.  As a consultant in tax, Kenneth shall play an important role alongside partner Vivien Teu and senior associate Christina Suen as we spearhead our efforts in offering tax advisory services as an integrated part of our legal services on asset management, funds structuring and formation, corporate and commercial work.  This is also highly relevant for our firm’s legal and advisory services to private clients on their private assets, corporate and trusts matters.  We see taking tax into considerations as key amidst the evolving complexity of international tax issues, especially given the bulk of our work is cross-border and multi-jurisdictional in nature.

As an independent law firm and with our unique focus areas, we are looking forward to deepening collaboration and developing new opportunities working with local and international clients, as well as other law firms with aligned desire of offering best-of-breed legal services, to meet the expanding needs of our clients who require esoteric, customised or bespoke legal solutions in increasingly complex business, legal and regulatory environments.

Over the coming months, we look to bring on board more lawyers with established professional knowledge and expertise within our practice and industry focus, in view of growing client requests, including in projects and thought-leadership initiatives in new specific areas, such as financial technology, payment services and virtual assets, responsible finance and impact investing.

We welcome enquiries if you would like to find out more about our firm and our services as we re-shape in our focus, or if you would like to explore working with us.  We are excited to share our vision and strategy, and look forward to meeting of minds and building on shared interests.

Thank you for your attention and support.
