Biography

Having practised in Hong Kong for over 30 years, Robin is recognised as one of the region’s foremost practitioners in the insolvency field, specialising in special situation strategies. He appears in the Legal 500 Asia Pacific’s Hall of Fame for Restructuring and Insolvency in Hong Kong and is acknowledged by Chambers Asia Pacific as ‘most prominent’ with ‘great all-round experience.’

Robin has advised on most of Asia’s highest-profile insolvencies and restructurings since the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, including notable cases such as China Evergrande, Guy Lam, Lehman Brothers, MF Global, GITIC, OW Bunker, Kaisa, HIH, Moulin Eyewear, Akai and many others. Various industry publications consistently acknowledge him as a leading lawyer and thought leader for restructuring and insolvency, and fraud and asset tracing litigation.

On a number of occasions, he has been appointed as expert witness on Hong Kong law to support proceedings in Mainland China, the BVI and Cayman Islands.

Robin’s multifaceted skillset allows him to provide strategic solutions to insolvency practitioners, private equity, distressed funds, asset managers, banks and other creditors, also for debtors, across various sectors. These sectors include retail, natural resources, construction, real estate, and financial services. His knowledge spans domestic and cross-border winding-up proceedings, bond restructurings, schemes of arrangement, bankruptcy matters, and claims against directors and auditors.

In the banking and finance field, Robin has many years of experience dealing with contentious issues related to financial transactions, the recovery of debts, the enforcement of securities, and contentious aspects of trade finance.

Robin’s practice also extends to general commercial litigation, including in particular shareholders’ disputes, and disputes relating to international sales of goods and commodities. With a keen emphasis on offshore considerations, Robin leverages strong relationships with a robust international network of offshore qualified lawyers, particularly from Cayman, BVI, Channel Islands, and Bermuda, with whom he has worked for many years.

Much of Robin’s work is cross-border and he appeared on a number of cases that helped develop cross-border recognition of insolvencies in Hong Kong. This cross-border experience has involved work in many jurisdictions around the world, including Mainland China, where he collaborates closely with Mandarin-speaking team members.

Robin frequently writes articles relating to Hong Kong insolvency law and is the author of the Hong Kong module for INSOL’s Foundation Certificate course. He has also spoken at many conference all over the world on insolvency and fraud-related litigation topics.
