Influential Women in IP Class of 2020: Vivien Chan

Why did you become a lawyer?

I became a lawyer to bring positive changes and solutions to my clients’ businesses.

How did you become founding partner of Vivien Chan & Co?

After I obtained a law degree from the University of London, I undertook a traineeship with a major city firm in London. In the early 1980s, I returned to Hong Kong and joined an international law firm as a corporate mergers and acquisitions lawyer.

I founded Vivien Chan & Co in 1985. In 1992, our firm became one of the first to be awarded a licence for a Beijing law office. We celebrate our 35 years as a Greater China premier firm this year.
