About

Anderson Lam focuses on Hong Kong and cross-border corporate commercial and tax work.

Anderson has extensive experience in advising local and international clients in structuring their business operations in a legally compliant and tax-efficient manner. This involves cross-border legal and tax planning, as well as structure implementation and helping multinational clients to establish a local presence in Asia. He regularly advises international and local corporate clients in legal and tax compliance, operation and implementation reviews, handling field audits and tax investigations, as well as post audit/investigation corporate and operational restructuring.

Anderson also advises on cross-border commercial and corporate transactions, often requiring him to be the coordinator for counsels from various jurisdictions within Asia.  Since many clients are in the retail sector, Anderson regularly advises them on retail issues such as product liability, after-sales customer service and personal data.
