PARALEGAL

I joined Perilli & Ho following experience within a lean in-house legal team at a fintech start-up in the City. In that role, I acted as the principal liaison between local counsel, regulators and internal stakeholders, and independently coordinated the Payment Service Operator licensing process in Bangladesh. I also contributed to the development of the company’s internal contract management system, drafted commercial precedents, and supported cross-border negotiations with counterparties in Malta, Lithuania and the Isle of Man.

My academic background further strengthened my interest in commercial and transactional law. I graduated from the University of Exeter with an LLB and completed the LLM and LPC at the University of Law. My postgraduate dissertation, awarded a high distinction, examined Clayton, Dubilier & Rice’s acquisition of Morrisons, with particular focus on the use of a scheme of arrangement and innovative bond financing structures. This research refined my understanding of transactional structuring, risk allocation and complex financing mechanisms.

As a first-generation graduate from a working-class background, I have developed my legal career with discipline, resilience and a strong sense of responsibility. Alongside my professional commitments, I volunteer as an online tutor for under-resourced students, supporting their academic development and progression.

I am fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, with advanced proficiency in Korean and conversational Italian.
