Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

China is investing to build a global centre of excellence in artificial intelligence technology and life sciences. Protection and commercialisation of intellectual properties are core to the success of this development. I hope my consolidated experience in both business law and IP law can add value to our clients when they are exploring opportunities and business partnership in the new era.
