The Close

---

Hong Kong partner William Hallatt recently spoke to Radio Television Hong Kong’s (RTHK) The Close programme about the city’s new sophisticated professional investor (SPI) regime.

In the interview, Will highlighted the key disclosure requirements for SPIs and how they can navigate cross-border transactions. He also noted that while the regime gives SPIs access to a wider range of complex financial products, it offers fewer regulatory protections than before.

Will is Global Co-Chair of our Financial Regulatory Practice Group and leads the Asia-Pacific Financial Regulatory practice.
