Testimonials

‘Proactive and thoughtful.’
‘I have collaborated with Shanshan Huang of Carey Olsen's Hong Kong office on numerous occasions. I am deeply impressed by her understanding of the needs and culture of Chinese clients. She is always quick to identify the substantive and procedural differences between mainland Chinese law and BVI and Cayman Islands law.'
‘Huang Shanshan's mainland legal background allows her to effectively communicate with mainland clients about their legal needs.'
‘Mr. Huang is well-regarded by mainland clients for his ability to communicate effectively with them, understand their needs, and introduce offshore legal procedures.'
‘Tim Haynes gave prompt and comprehensive advice on BVI law issues, relevant to a restoration case which was considerably more complex than usual.
‘In the many Cayman/BVI projects I've worked on with Carey Olsen, Shanshan Huang was consistently the fastest to translate "offshore legal essentials" into "transactional actionable actions." Here's what sets her apart from other offshore lawyers:
