Gordon D. Oldham

by

Profil

Gordon est arrivé à Hong Kong en provenance du Royaume-Uni il y a plus de 40 ans en tant qu’avocat nouvellement qualifié, après avoir été recruté par l’un des plus grands cabinets de Hong Kong pour rejoindre leur département contentieux. Deux ans plus tard, il a été nommé associé et chef du département des litiges.

La pratique du contentieux de Gordon s’est poursuivie jusqu’en 1987, date à laquelle il s’est retrouvé de plus en plus impliqué dans le travail commercial. Pour répondre à cette demande et élargir son expérience professionnelle, il a créé son propre cabinet et, dans les années qui ont suivi, a engagé des associés qui ont apporté avec eux leur propre degré de spécialisation.

Au cours de ses 40 années passées à Hong Kong, Gordon s’est impliqué dans le monde des affaires, tant au niveau local qu’international, en tant que conseiller juridique mais aussi, le plus souvent, en tant qu’homme d’affaires. L’implication directe de Gordon dans les activités commerciales lui a donné un aperçu unique des besoins de ceux qui possèdent ou dirigent des entreprises.

Gordon est impliqué dans le travail commercial en s’appuyant sur son expérience d’avoir été engagé comme directeur dans un certain nombre d’entreprises à Hong Kong et en Asie. Sa philosophie en matière de conseil juridique est de donner des solutions juridiques pratiques aux clients, de travailler main dans la main avec eux dans leur développement commercial et d’offrir une approche plus complète des situations commerciales.

Le travail de Gordon concerne également le financement des entreprises, les joint-ventures, la structuration immobilière ainsi que les litiges commerciaux. Il s’occupe également beaucoup des clients fortunés et des aspects financiers des litiges matrimoniaux.

Dexter has vast experiences in handling civil litigations, including commercial litigation, insolvency proceedings (winding-up of companies and bankruptcy), shareholder disputes and arbitrations. He has been involved in the whole cycle of civil proceedings from pre-action investigation and strategy (e.g. jurisdiction, type of relief sought and prospect of recovery) to enforcement of judgments and awards (e.g. garnishee order, charging order and appointment of receiver). In terms of practical matters, Dexter has experiences in taking out discovery application against parties and non-parties, analyzing bank statements in accordance with different tracing principles for asset recovery, and instructing experts in valuating assets in dispute.

In this area, he advises clients on the drafting (in either Chinese or English) and execution of wills, as well as the application for the issuance of Grant and the subsequent administration of estate. He also deals with tax controversies for clients, and liaises with the Inland Revenue Department on behalf of client.
