Ben has over 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, restructuring, and insolvency. He is known for identifying pragmatic solutions to unlock stakeholder value and achieve favourable exits from distressed situations. Ben also advises companies facing adverse creditor action, working with them to help strategically navigate any tricky or layered pre-insolvency circumstances.
Before joining Harneys in 2025, Ben was based in Shanghai with another offshore law firm, advising PRC companies on Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands legal issues. Prior to that, he was with Mayer Brown in Hong Kong, practicing Hong Kong law and advising on complex interjurisdictional restructuring transactions, and before that with another leading offshore law firm, working across their Hong Kong and Bermuda offices. With corporate restructurings invariably involving elements of both offshore and onshore law, Ben’s background (including as lead advocate in court-supervised restructuring matters) distinguishes him from other advisers within the market, benefitting his clients and helping them find their way through complex interjurisdictional problems.
