Hong Kong boutique David Cameron Law Office (DCLO) has named Kris Daswani as a partner, adding a lawyer with over 25 years of experience at prominent financial institutions such as Standard Chartered, JPMorgan, and Citigroup.
Until July last year, Daswani served as managing director and global head of legal for transaction banking at Standard Chartered. She previously held senior legal positions at JPMorgan and Citigroup, before which she was in private practice with Simmons & Simmons and Pinsent Masons.
Daswani brings extensive expertise in cross-border banking transactions, covering areas like cash management, digital payments, commodity and trade finance, as well as funds and securities services, including custody and prime finance. He has provided advisory services on financing transactions across Asia and the Middle East.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kris Daswani to our partnership,” said David Cameron, managing partner of David Cameron Law Office, in a statement. “Her extensive experience and client-focused approach align perfectly with our firm’s values and mission”.
This appointment is DCLO's third partner hire in just five months, following Aoife Griffin and Matthew Love, who joined in October and November 2024, respectively. The firm, established in 2021, plans to double its size by year-end.
