Partner, Investment Funds, Stephenson Harwood
Penelope leads the investment funds practice of Stephenson Harwood's Hong Kong office. Her clients across two decades of first-class experience include the region’s top asset managers, family offices and investors who look to her for advice in fund establishment and structuring, as well as regulatory, compliance and investment concerns, among others.
Not only is she a leading funds lawyer - ranking regularly in benchmark listings such as the Legal 500, Chambers Asia-Pacific, and IFLR 1000 - Penelope also kickstarted Stephenson Harwood's Asia ESG initiative, and was instrumental in it joining the Hong Kong Green Finance Association. She is especially dedicated to ESG issues affecting fund managers in the region, and as such has been recognized as a green ambassador by Legal 500 for her work in the decarbonisation sector. She also recently won an Outstanding Contribution to Wealth for Good Initiatives (APAC) award - part of WealthBriefing's global honours series - and is determined to bring even more to this particular table.
