About

The in-house legal and compliance team of Royal Caribbean Cruises Service (China) is described by nominators as having ‘consistently provided effective and high quality in-house service for Royal Caribbean’s China and North Asian businesses, which have made a major contribution to the success of the overall Group’. Team lead Emily Xu, a former private practice lawyer at a leading US law firm, has built the legal and compliance team from scratch and, in the words of nominators, ‘has led the growing team to conquer many difficult challenges’ during the course of her tenure. The Chinese and North Asian cruise market is extremely competitive, and the team’s assistance with the company achieving a number of key objectives and business growth targets over recent months has been commented on by industry observers as exceptional.
