Hong Kong law firm Facey & Associates has hired Nick Dealy as a partner and head of its commercial litigation and dispute resolution practice.

Dealy, an English barrister and Hong Kong solicitor with over two decades of experience, was a partner at another local firm, Gall, between 2018 and 2021, and previously led the litigation and investigations team for the Asia-Pacific region at Swiss investment bank UBS.

In his new role, Dealy will focus on commercial dispute work and contentious regulatory matters, leveraging his experience advising on financial product mis-selling, cybercrime, and investigations by Hong Kong regulators, including the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Dealy will also spearhead the firm's contentious employment practice, representing both employers and employees.

Facey & Associates, set up by former Withers partner Guy Facey, now has two partners and two consultants.
