Prior to joining Appleby, Freya was a Senior Associate in the funds team of another offshore firm, having started her career onshore in a PRC firm and later working at a US firm and another offshore law firm.
Freya is qualified in the PRC (2016) and England and Wales (2023) and is a native Mandarin speaker.
Commenting on the hire, Hong Kong and Mainland China Managing Partner David Bulley said: “I am delighted to welcome Freya to our Hong Kong team and look forward to seeing her continue to aggressively grow our Asia Funds practice and to work with Eason Huang on shaping strategy in this space.
“Appleby has the only offshore funds team in Asia which consists of all native Mandarin speakers. Coupled with our market leading downstream M&A team, fund finance team, Shanghai office and the Appleby Global Services offering in Hong Kong and Mainland China, we see Appleby as having the most compelling offering for Asia based fund clients who are looking for a law firm who can support all of their needs.”
