Good morning,

I am a Hong Kong litigation solicitor focusing on the practice of dispute resolute and technology law. Prior to embarking my journey in law, I worked in the healthcare industry serving as the IT department head at a private hospital as well as overseeing their procurement operations. 

The news I’ve chosen to share today fits mainly into business and finance. Maybe it is a bit of a change from what High Tide readers are used to!

If anyone would like, I’m more than happy to stay connected with any of you via Linkedin.
