Laura de Heer is a member of our Litigation and Restructuring practice group in Hong Kong. Having been a fee-earner in the team for nearly seven years before moving into the role of professional support lawyer, Laura has a solid legal background with a genuine understanding of the pressures and issues facing clients.
