Career

Here at Bird & Bird, I am a partner in our International Employment Group. I am currently qualified to practise in Hong Kong, Australia and England. This reflects my recent history where I have been lucky enough to be based in Hong Kong, Sydney and London. My luck continues in abundance as I am embarking on my American adventure and I am now based in our San Francisco office which I co-lead.

I have had a long-term interest and developed expertise in the PRC as well as Hong Kong. As a result, I spend a significant amount of time working with organisations as they navigate the complexities of doing business in China and Asia-Pac generally.

Our team manages projects and employment law challenges wherever our clients have people. We cover all aspects of employment law; I spent five years as a barrister in London and so enjoy both the contentious and advisory side of the practice.

I chair our Firm’s Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Group which is responsible for driving our DE&I strategy across all our offices.
