Both my firm and my client’s firms have had the privilege of working with Ms. Tracy Yip, of Oldham, Li & Nie on multiple engagements ranging from Asset and Share Purchase Agreements, Transition Service Agreements, High Court Legal Actions, Wills and Trusts, and various defense cases. Without exception, Ms. Yip not only represented herself and her firm to the highest standards, but she has proven to be a critical partner to our businesses. She has both proven to be a savvy business thinker as well as a legal advisor who helps us not only look at the critical actions we face, but also the future risks and opportunities.
