5. Regulatory Compliance, Licensing & Risk Management

  • Monitor, interpret, and implement evolving laws across Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Switzerland, and potentially Thailand and Malaysia.
  • Liaise with regulators such as MAS and manage supervisory enquiries, licensing, thematic reviews, and inspections.
  • Identify structural legal risks, provide risk assessments, and devise mitigation frameworks.

6. Claims, Disputes & External Counsel Management

  • Own contentious matters, including disputed claims, escalated customer complaints, and potential litigation.
  • Direct and manage external counsel in court proceedings, arbitrations, mediation, and specialised advice.
  • Ensure cost-efficient, high-quality representation.

7. Cross-Functional Business Partnering

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
