Clifford Chance (CC) has hired former Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) director Jimmy Chan as a partner in its local litigation and disputes resolution practice.
Chan, who will join the magic circle firm’s Hong Kong office in October, was until 2017 a director in the SFC’s enforcement division, where he led the international and policy team and collaborated on cross-border enforcement actions with other regulators such as the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
