Hong Kong law firm CFN Lawyers has hired veteran dispute resolution lawyer Bonita Chan as a partner from Anthony Siu & Co, which operates in association with the PRC’s Jia Yuan Law Office. 

The move is aimed at strengthening CFN’s cross-border commercial dispute expertise, the firm told ALB.

Chan brings to CFN Lawyers over 25 years of experience in complex commercial litigation and arbitration, focusing on cross-border disputes. Her expertise spans areas including corporate and shareholder conflicts, employment, banking and securities-related litigation, complex commercial crime and contentious regulatory matters and SFC investigation.

Over her career, Chan has represented multinational corporations, financial institutions, and high-net-worth individuals in high-stakes cases across various jurisdictions. 

Chan joined Anthony Siu & Co as a partner in 2022 from Ince Hong Kong. Prior to that, she held partner positions at Miao & Co, which has since merged with the Hong Kong branch of Han Kun Law Offices, and Hastings & Co. 

"With solid and extensive experiences in litigation and arbitration, particularly involving cross-border commercial disputes, Bonita brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will enhance our capabilities and strengthen our commitment to providing exceptional legal services to our clients,” the firm said.

Established in 2013, CFN Lawyers has built a strong reputation in capital markets, having acted for more than 50 companies on their initial public offerings in Hong Kong. The firm recently added a new office in Shenzhen’s Qianhai Cooperation Zone, and an affiliated office in New York, the United States. In Hong Kong, it now has 12 partners.
