CEO of APAC, Mr James Clemence, said, “China is one of the key markets of Vialto Partners. Hong Kong is not only part of China, but also one of the strategic locations in the Greater Bay Area where mobility of talent is expected to grow significantly. Together with our offices in other key locations in China, Hong Kong is an important place for us to expand our global mobility, tax and immigration business in the region."

He added, “The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has indicated its strong and continuous commitment in attracting foreign talent to work and live in Hong Kong. It definitely will stimulate cross-border employment activities and create genuine demand for global people services.”
