Arigen Liang joins Carey Olsen from another offshore law firm in Hong Kong, Harneys. Liang is qualified in Singapore, England and Wales and the British Virgin Islands.
Carey Olsen opened its Hong Kong office in November 2016 following the successful launch of its Singapore office in October 2015.

Offshore Legal Services in Demand
Prior to joining Carey Olsen, she was involved in several high profile matters in Singapore including the restructuring of Continental Chemicals Corporation Pte Ltd which involved complex cross-border legal issues and entities incorporated in Singapore, BVI, Bermuda, Seychelles, Thailand and China.
«With the firm's recent expansion into Hong Kong we have seen an increase in the demand for our offshore legal services amongst existing and new Asian clients, particularly in the areas of restructuring and insolvency, including shareholders' disputes,» said Michael Makridakis, Carey Olsen's Managing Partner in Hong Kong,
