Norman Nip SC
'Norman is the silk you need when it comes to complex regulatory matters.'
Rede Chambers is ‘a leading set in regulatory matters in Hong Kong’, with its members sought after by regulators, regulated entities, and high-net-worth individuals. Norman Nip SC is praised as ’the silk you need when it comes to complex regulatory matters‘, and he has often acted for the SFC, as is evidenced in his role as counsel in an SFC case concerning the alleged breach of duties of various directors of a listed company. Among the juniors, Francis Chung ’is extremely thorough on facts and evidence‘, and market misconduct and regulatory matters are key areas of expertise. Of recent note, Chung acted for the respondents in a case surrounding allegations of reckless and negligent behaviour that caused HKD1.5bn in losses (Securities and Futures Commission v Superb Summit International Group Limited & 15 Others).
