In this episode, we meet corporate finance lawyer Julia Charlton, a hugely respected and vastly experienced legal practitioner in Hong Kong’s financial sector. Julia looks back on her career journey, beginning with her upbringing in the northeast of England, practicing corporate law in London, and her bold decision as a working mother to relocate to Hong Kong.
