BIOGRAPHY
​
After completing my legal studies in China, I started my career practicing corporate and commercial law at a large national firm in Beijing. I had a chance to see the rapid development of commercial transactions, emerging technologies and business collaborations on both a national and an international scale, which drove me to continue my studies overseas and explore the world. I went on to finish my legal studies in Canada and gained the qualification to practice law in two jurisdictions, Canada (Quebec) and China, that are far apart geographically but closely tied to each other in terms of business and commercial collaborations. I joined the blue HF team in the spring of 2021. My practice focuses on assisting my clients with financing transactions, M&A, and general corporate legal matters. Aside from law, I enjoy travelling, snowboarding, jazz music and immersing myself in the world of virtual reality.
