Vivien Teu is the founding and managing partner of Vivien Teu & Co LLP.

She has extensive and in-depth experience as a corporate and commercial lawyer specialising in the financial services sector, funds and wealth management. Driven by her belief in responsible capital and sustainable finance, and further to her wealth of experience in corporate, asset management and the investment industry, Vivien has strengthened ESG and impact focus in her practice since 2018, following global developments of the Paris Agreement and increasing adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Vivien carries diverse legal practice experience with top tier and magic circle firms in the areas of tax, trusts, banking and financial services, investment funds, securities regulatory and corporate commercial matters. Based in Greater China including Hong Kong and Shanghai in the past decade, Vivien has focused on investment funds, asset management, and the securities and financial services markets and regulatory framework in this region, with in-depth knowledge especially on the legal and regulatory issues relevant to investment funds and managers establishing or operating in Hong Kong or China and on investments in China and Hong Kong.

Vivien has also accumulated extensive knowledge and experience on the fast evolving legal landscape and regulatory requirements related to ESG issues and green finance, and on impact, is increasingly advising or working with charities, private or corporate foundations, social enterprises and impact investors. She has engaged in reviewing and responding to consultations on ESG and green finance, including on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange consultation on updating the ESG Reporting Guide, consultations of the Securities & Futures Commission on enhanced requirements on asset managers and investment funds on climate-related risks and on green and ESG products, and also consultations of key industry bodies such as the Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) and CFA Institute, with respect to soft law and hard law relating to sustainable finance, and other thought-leadership initiatives in ESG.
