Charles Russell Speechlys Hong Kong Private Wealth group celebrates record success in Chambers HNW Guide 2021 rankings

We are delighted to have supported our clients, both in Hong Kong and internationally, on a full range of projects to help them protect and grow their wealth, and that this expertise has resulted in us being recognised as a leader in our field in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2021.

We have entered the ranking at Band 1 for Private Wealth Law in China (Hong Kong) as a consequence of not only the size and complexity of work that we have been advising on but also the fact that we have recently expanded our Private Wealth/Private Client team in Hong Kong. With Ian Devereux and Silvia On joining, who have been ranked as leading individuals for a number of years, as well as Jeffrey Lee, who has also secured a ranking this year as a leading individual, we now have one of the largest Private Wealth/Private Client teams in Hong Kong. 

Simon Green, International Partner at Charles Russell Speechlys commented: “The fact that we are now a ‘Band 1’ Private Wealth/Private Client practice in Hong Kong is a fantastic achievement but also accurately reflects our market leading status and the strength and depth of our Private Wealth/Private Client team.”

We would also like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude to our clients and contacts for their continued support.
