Ben Hammond is managing partner of our Hong Kong office and leads our Hong Kong financial regulation practice
Ben has wide-ranging experience and advises the largest international financial institutions, principal traders and family offices with a presence in Asia on complex regulatory issues for which his hands-on accessibility and ability to deliver clear guidance in areas of technical uncertainty, risk exposure, or commercial sensitivity is prized.
Ben is a regular speaker at seminars and conferences on regulatory developments. He also runs training sessions for clients, including the long running, and well-attended, monthly Regulatory Breakfast Club.
Ben has been consistently ranked as a leading lawyer in the non-contentious regulatory practice by Chambers & Partners, and he has recently also been recognised for his work in the fintech sector. Clients consider him their "main trusted legal adviser," and he is also recognised for providing "a great level of support" while being "mindful not only of costs but of providing relevant guidance based on the client's commercial needs."
