Howse Williams Bowers has hired regulatory and compliance expert Jill Wong as a partner at its Hong Kong office.

Wong focuses on financial services, corporate regulatory and compliance issues, and advises clients on matters including risk management, regulatory investigations, listing rules, auditing issues, corporate governance, and competition law.
