Global law firm Clyde & Co is pleased to announce the appointment of Joyce Chan as a new partner based in Hong Kong.
Joyce advises financial services institutions and intermediaries on a broad range of regulatory and corporate matters.
In addition, Joyce has significant experience in advising multinational insurance and reinsurance companies on a broad range of corporate and compliance matters such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, reorganisation, asset purchase, authorisation of products and establishment of compliance programs such as anti-money laundering, prevention of bribery, data protection and market conduct programs.
She has also developed a financial regulatory practice for non-banking Fintech service providers, in particular in relation to e-payment services. The work mainly relates to market entries, licencing regulations, product approvals from regulators, e-commerce and cross-border distribution of products.
Prior to joining Clyde & Co Joyce spent nearly two decades in insurance practice, both in private practice and as an in-house counsel. She has also led the legal teams at two multinational insurers in Hong Kong. She joins from DLA Piper where she was also a partner.
Hong Kong Managing Partner Simon McConnell said of Joyce's appointment: "We are delighted to welcome Joyce to the firm. Her practice has many synergies with our existing insurance and regulatory practice in Hong Kong, Greater China and Asia Pacific more broadly. She is well known to those of us in the market and we look forward to working with her."
Joyce said of her appointment: "Clyde & Co has an internationally-renowned insurance and regulatory practice. My expertise and experience in working with international insurers will strengthen the firm's insurance offering and allow me to further grow my practice in conjunction with my new fellow partners, both in Hong Kong and across the firm's international network."
