Eric has participated in numerous joint venture and acquisition projects involving both China and Hong Kong, including the restructuring and acquisition of listed companies. In addition, he represents Chinese companies doing business and making investment in Hong Kong and overseas, and provides annual retainer services to clients with advice and solutions to a wide range of legal issues.
In recent years, Eric has served as legal counsel for many company liquidation and restructuring schemes, providing different restructuring and rescue plans to seek the most favourable solution for companies, shareholders, liquidators, and creditors, and to reduce the risks posed by liquidation and poor financial situations.

He is also part of the first batch of Hong Kong lawyers who set up a joint venture law firm in the Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone, and obtained a working permit issued by the Guangdong Ministry of Justice which allows him to practise Hong Kong law in mainland China.
