Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP provides a cohesive service to investment banks, funds and broker-dealers across the gamut of their contentious and non-contentious regulatory needs. Much of the work is for large global entities seeking to navigate Hong Kong-related regulations from both a pre-emptive standpoint as well as when they are in the cross-hairs of agency scrutiny. A versatile regulatory lawyer, Hannah Cassidy is across both the advisory and litigation aspects of matters, and is noted, in particular, for her skill at helping clients respond to investigations into culture and conduct. Hong Kong and US-qualified Kyle Wombolt co-heads the team alongside Cassidy, and is noted for his regulatory and white-collar investigations expertise. This work frequently straddles jurisdictions and also includes the implementation of anti-corruption programmes for large foreign investment banks.
