Tailored legal support for an Asian conglomerate

Challenge

Our client, a Hong Kong conglomerate, was looking for a legal counsel for some interim support while they recruit for the role. They wanted someone with commercial experience. In particular, they needed someone with hands-on experience in handling e-commerce and technology related contracts. Strong command of Chinese drafting skills was mandatory and they wanted someone who speaks, reads and writes fluent Chinese, who can come in and plug the gap.

Solution

At the time, we had someone who was just finishing up with her prior secondment and was looking for the next assignment. We managed to find a suitable consultant with prior in- house experience gained from a technology company where she was acting as the sole counsel of the company. The consultant was an excellent match and has sound commercial knowledge in the TMT and digital space who also had solid TMT background gained from one of the leading international law firms in Hong Kong.

Impact

“We are very impressed by how LOD has quickly found us a solution at the time. We needed to fill a skill gap and LOD managed to find us someone with just the right skills we needed. Tina has great commercial sense, good industry knowledge and strong legal drafting skills. She did a fabulous job and gave practical legal advice and was solution-oriented. We were all very pleased with how it all turned out.”
