[4 August 2026] SFC Enforcement: Privilege, Pitfalls, and Trend

[Upcoming webinar: 4 August 2026, 12pm - 1pm HKT]

Webinar description

As the regulatory landscape in Hong Kong becomes increasingly complex, staying ahead of enforcement trends and court rulings is critical. For legal professionals who advise licensed corporations and listed companies, managing SFC investigations requires not just legal expertise, but a strategic understanding of how the Hong Kong courts and the regulators are actively reshaping investigative boundaries.

Join William Wong (Partner) and Lester Fung (Consultant) at Howse Williams, and Byron Chiu (Counsel) at Temple Chambers, virtually on 4 August (12PM – 1PM). They will dissect two recent Hong Kong court decisions clarifying corporate accountability and the limits of legal professional privilege in the context of investigations by the SFC, and explore what the latest SFC enforcement trends mean for your business.

A single misstep in responding to an SFC inquiry or structuring a self-report can expose your company—and its directors—to severe regulatory penalties and loss of confidentiality. Register for free now to discover the practical risk-mitigation strategies needed to protect your business.
