Wilfred Ho has been promoted to counsel at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in Hong Kong. Ho represents Asian corporates and private equity funds in arbitral proceedings under various rules and institutions, and has extensive experience in disputes arising out of complex commercial transactions and intellectual property issues.
Currently based in Skadden’s Hong Kong office, Ho has also worked in Skadden’s London office. Prior to joining Skadden, Ho worked as a research associate in the Federal Court of Australia for Justice Raymond Finkelstein and Justice Michelle Gordon.
His recent work includes achieving a favourable settlement for the largest private media company in China in a high-profile HKIAC arbitration with respect to the highest-rated reality programme in China, worth over US$1 billion in revenue; and successfully obtaining the withdrawal of a winding-up petition in the Hong Kong High Court for a Chinese internet technology company, one of the largest internet and video game companies in the world. Due to pressing commercial requirements, an expedited withdrawal of the winding-up petition was obtained for the client via an urgent application to the companies judge in Hong Kong.
