Hong Kong, 4 December 2025: In this episode, we meet corporate finance lawyer Julia Charlton, a hugely respected and vastly experienced legal practitioner in Hong Kong’s financial sector. Julia looks back on her career journey, beginning with her upbringing in the northeast of England, practicing corporate law in London, and her bold decision as a working mother to relocate to Hong Kong. As she explains to our Senior Partner Colin Cohen, her arrival came at a time when mainland Chinese companies were just beginning to have a major impact on the city’s markets.
