Full Profile

Ruby is experienced in commercial litigation.

As part of her insurance practice, Ruby has also advised international insurers on claims under D&O, public liability, product liability, employment and other financial lines policies. For financial lines practice, Ruby focuses on cyber incident and data breach response. This includes having recently assisted an international hedge fund firm with handling a cyber-attack and conducting ransom negotiations with threat actors.
Ruby was admitted as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 2013. She speaks English, Cantonese, Mandarin and French.
