He is admitted as a solicitor in the UK and Hong Kong.

Kate New

Kate is a real estate disputes lawyer. Kate supports clients on finding commercial solutions to all manner of disputes concerning their real estate.

Foot Anstey Managing Partner Martin Hirst said: "Paolo and Kate are very welcome additions to the Partnership – they will bring considerable expertise and a fresh approach to our firm. They are exactly the type of Partners we want to attract to Foot Anstey."
