Mr. Remus Wong Sun Man was the founding partner of the firm Messrs. WONG AND CHAN. As holder of double degrees attained at The University of Hong Kong, he is admitted as solicitor in Hong Kong and in other jurisdictions, namely,England and Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Singapore.  He is also appointed as Notary Public in Hong Kong and England and as China-Appointed Attesting Officer in Hong Kong. Mr. Wong has developed over time his areas of legal speciality in corporate and commercial matters including,among others, merger and acquisition and corporate finance.  Conveyancing practice especially in its corporate aspect still takes up significantly his working time when complicated legal and corporate issues have called for his personal attention.  In particular, he has overseen the legal documentation in quite a number of conveyancing projects involving project finance and/or intertwined group companies involved in such projects.  He has indeed travelled quite broadly in Mainland China over the past 20 years or so and has thus developed his China-related practice, most notably in Shanghai.  As such, he has become the Chief Legal Representative of the firm's Shanghai Representative Office set up with the approval of the Ministry of Justice in Peking since 2003.  By the end of 2006, he had successfully fostered and thus established the firm's formal association with Jin Mao P.R.C. Lawyers in Hong Kong, it being one of the leading law firms in Shanghai.  In recent years, he has been involved in due diligence and issue of related legal opinions and listing work of the firm, especially in the flourishing LSE and AIM in London and listing in Frankfurt and also in Hong Kong.  He has been frequently involved in advising Hong Kong and China entrepreneurs and UK clients, mostly on the corporate and commercial aspects of their business and operation as well as investment projects (including private equity funds) both within or without Hong Kong in his increasingly extensive cross-border practice.
