Hong Kong – Global law firm K&L Gates welcomes Huberta Chow as a partner in the Asset Management and Investment Funds (AMIF) practice. She joins the firm’s Hong Kong office from Broadfield.

With nearly two decades of experience advising leading asset managers and institutional investors, Chow brings deep knowledge of structuring and restructuring private investment funds and alternative arrangements across multiple jurisdictions.

Her clients include sovereign wealth funds, government authorities, investment banks, financial institutions, and prominent asset managers.

Additionally, she helped frame Hong Kong’s landmark legislation for a domestic private fund industry and write the Limited Partnership Funds Ordinance (Cap. 637).
