Our Financial Services Regulation & Funds Partner Gaven Cheong and Associate Didi Chan, alongside Alvin Fan, CEO of OP Investment Management, explore why Hong Kong continues to stand out as a strategic Asian financial hub, and how its market depth, regulatory framework and global connectivity across Asia, Europe and the Middle East are influencing fund managers’ operating decisions.

Since 2019, our volunteer lawyers have undertaken pro bono secondments as part of a collaborative project with legal charity, European Lawyers in Lesvos (ELIL). The project is an award-winning international collaboration with ELIL and other firms. It aims to help address the access to justice crisis for asylum seekers in Greece, including many who have gone through extremely challenging journeys. The work our volunteers do involves incredibly interesting and vital support to ELIL’s lawyers in asylum interview preparation sessions, note-taking, fact-checking, producing first draft supporting memoranda, and assisting with specific legal research. #ProBono #LegalCareer

Charles Russell Speechlys has advised TPE on the Luxembourg aspects of the first-ever share sale on the Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES) — a pioneering transaction that unlocks liquidity in Oxford Science Enterprises (OSE) and establishes a new paradigm for private market investment within regulated exchange infrastructure. The transaction involved the creation and launch of a TPEIC, an innovative application of the Luxembourg securitisation undertaking regime that provides investors with access to Oxford Science Enterprises (OSE) — a £1.3 billion investment company commercialising cutting-edge research from the University of Oxford — through the London Stock Exchange’s PISCES platform, the Private Securities Market, which launched in late 2025. PISCES represents the UK’s first regulatory framework for private share trading, enabling shareholders of private companies to access liquidity through regulated share trading events hosted by FCA-approved operators, without the ongoing compliance obligations associated with public markets. #TrainingContract #Regulation #Corporate #CareerInLaw #CompanyLaw

Jeudi 12 mars, les étudiants du Master 2 Droit Fiscal Parcours Fiscalité Appliquée de l’Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) dirigé par Monsieur le Professeur Alexandre Maitrot de la Motte ont eu le plaisir d’être accueillis au sein du bureau parisien du cabinet Charles Russell Speechlys. La rencontre a débuté par une présentation du cabinet, mettant en lumière la richesse de ses expertises, notamment en fiscalité patrimoniale et en fiscalité des entreprises, deux domaines au cœur de sa pratique. Les étudiants ont ensuite pu échanger avec les avocats du département fiscal du cabinet, qui ont partagé leurs parcours et leur expérience, offrant un aperçu concret des problématiques rencontrées en pratique et de la complémentarité de ces expertises au sein du cabinet. Ces échanges, particulièrement interactifs, ont permis aux étudiants de mieux se projeter dans la diversité des carrières offertes en droit fiscal, au sein d’une structure internationale. L’ensemble de la promotion remercie chaleureusement Maîtres Sarah Bergougnoux (Of Counsel - Wealth Tax ; Alumni du Master 2 - Promo 2009/2010), Raphaël Bagdassarian (Partner - Corporate Tax), Alix Taquet (Of Counsel - Wealth Tax), Julia Landru (Of Counsel - Wealth Tax) pour leur accueil, leur disponibilité et la qualité des échanges, qui ont fait de cette rencontre un moment à la fois enrichissant et inspirant. @droitupecofficiel @upecofficiel @crstrainees
