Herbert Smith Freehills' continued growth in the areas of tax disputes and private wealth has been reflected in a string of new lawyers joining the firm.
James Rickards has joined the firm's London office after 15 years' practice as a barrister at Outer Temple chambers. James has a wide range of experience across trusts and estates matters, as well as mental capacity issues. He also advises on pensions issues. James is a member of STEP. He is praised in the directories for having “great in-depth knowledge.”
William Cheung will soon be joining the firm's Hong Kong private wealth practice as a mid-level associate. William is a trilingual lawyer (Cantonese, English and Mandarin) with similarly wide experience in the areas of trusts, estates and mental capacity.
In addition to the above hires, the firm's specialist tax disputes team in London has been joined by Dawen Gao. Not only does Dawen have considerable experience of tax disputes matters, she is also a native Mandarin speaker.
Heather Gething, Head of Herbert Smith Freehills' tax disputes and investigations team, commented: "These new hires demonstrate both an increase in current activity in the areas of tax disputes and private wealth and the further growth we foresee in these areas - as well as the increasing collaboration between our teams specialising in those fields."
