Guiding the digital transformation of Hong Kong’s pension fund landscape

-

The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) set out to modernize HK's pension fund management through the creation of the eMPF Platform — a single digital portal designed to give residents easier access to their MPF accounts across different schemes via web and mobile applications. Delivering this vision meant navigating a highly complex landscape: integrating numerous existing schemes, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with a detailed and evolving regulatory framework. Our HK team, led by partner Tommy Liu and supported by associates Kenneth Cheung and Nicola Choi, worked closely with the MPFA on the development of the eMPF Platform – the largest tech transformation project in HK. We provided commercial and regulatory guidance, helping shape the framework for pension trustee engagement and supporting the development of the platform’s operating rules. Our team also advised on key areas including data processing, privacy notices, and user terms of service.

Helping EV brand ZEEKR accelerate into international markets

-

ZEEKR, a U.S.-listed premium electric vehicle brand owned by Geely Automobile Holdings, is rapidly expanding into global markets. To achieve its expansion into new jurisdictions including Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, and the UAE, ZEEKR faced a complex mix of regulatory, licensing, and compliance requirements. ZEEKR needed tailored legal support on its global vehicle distribution project to navigate market entry compliance, licensing and regulatory matters, and commercial arrangements. With deep sector knowledge in automotive and mobility, and the ability to mobilize cross-border, cross-practice teams, we were well positioned to support ZEEKR in its global expansion. As the company entered new markets, we guided them through complex trade laws and regulatory requirements, while assisting in the establishment of local operations. Our support extended to ESG considerations, data protection compliance, and commercial structuring.
