Michael has developed particular expertise in Securities and Futures Commission proceedings and Market Misconduct Tribunal cases. His background as a Certified Forensic Accountant provides a significant advantage in understanding and presenting the financial evidence that is central to these complex regulatory matters.
Market misconduct cases frequently involve sophisticated financial transactions, trading patterns, and accounting records. Michael's dual qualification as both a barrister and a CPA enables him to engage with financial evidence at a level of depth that is rarely available in a single advocate — bridging the gap between legal argument and financial analysis.
He has been involved in high-profile Market Misconduct Tribunal proceedings, including matters relating to Evergrande Real Estate Group and Warderly International Holdings, working under the supervision of leading senior counsel. He also provides advisory services on SFC-related criminal matters and regulatory investigations.
