Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP

Acting on its own as well as collaboratively with the broader litigation, anti-corruption and antitrust practice groups, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP excels in providing comprehensive end-to-end regulatory advice to financial services entities seeking to comply with Hong Kong’s complex regulatory framework. This wide-ranging expertise is exemplified by experienced team head William Hallatt, who is as comfortable providing strategic advisory guidance on new regulatory developments, as well as defending clients in high-stakes regulatory investigations and enforcement actions. As well as counselling on traditional regulatory matters, Hallatt has also been at the cutting-edge of fintech developments, handling a considerable volume of work in the cryptocurrency space. Emily Rumble regularly works alongside Hallatt advising banking clients on culture, conduct and governance issues, as well as recently handling a number of SFC investigations into alleged unauthorised operations by cryptocurrency exchanges.
