Ms Huynh has developed an international legal practice thanks to her previous experiences. She was an in-house counsel before becoming an attorney at law, having worked for a French multinational company in the wine and spirits sector in Shanghai (mainland China) where she dealt with anti-counterfeiting issues, and having worked for a Trademark and Design Agency in Paris where she dealt with Intellectual Property prosecution matters (filing intellectual property rights, drafting and negotiating agreements worldwide). “Because we thrive on what is different.”
In addition, her French-Hongkongese culture enables her to provide appropriate advice to companies wishing to develop their activities throughout the world and particularly in Asia. In this respect, CATHERINE HENG YEE HUYNH law firm has established partnerships with reliable and qualified agents and attorneys throughout the world and particularly in Asia. Ms Huynh acts as an expert to the European Union for companies wishing to develop their activities in mainland China.
