Roberts’ practice focuses on restructuring and insolvency, fraud, asset-tracing, contentious trust matters, and regulatory work including sanctions. She has more than 20 years of experience.

With Roberts’ hire, the firm has 36 in its restructuring practice in Hong Kong, including eight partners. The broader Hong Kong office has 53 lawyers, including 13 partners.
