IN SHORT

With over two decades of experience, Angela Ho, founder of Angela Ho & Associates, has gained a sterling reputation as a corporate finance lawyer. Active in promoting women’s rights, Angela also mentors aspiring lawyers, emphasising the need to respond and adapt to the changing legal landscape, which currently favours local talent. Having built her career on her own efforts, she insists on a theme of self-reliance: “We have to maintain our competitive edge,” she says, “and we can become more competitive by becoming more open-minded instead of insisting on the system always working for us.”
