Professionals behind Ginkgo Advisory
E helen.chan@ginkgoadvisory.com
Helen has more than ten years’ experience working at major international banks and securities firms, advising institutional investors.
Her background is grounded in environments where decisions are made within defined frameworks, risk is explicitly assessed, and responsibility is clearly assigned. This disciplined approach continues to shape how she evaluates complex matters and long-term choices.
After relocating to the UK, Helen began working more closely with cross-border personal and family matters, including document compliance, procedural accuracy, and long-term property considerations. She observed that while these issues arise frequently, clear and dependable guidance on what is appropriate — and what is not — is often limited.
Helen founded Ginkgo Advisory to provide that clarity. Its work across document legalisation, UK property analysis, and market advisory is guided by a simple principle: every recommendation should be made with care, transparency, and willingness to stand behind the judgement.

Kwok has spent many years working as legal counsel and in-house solicitor in leading law firms and large corporations. His work has involved advising on matters spanning multiple jurisdictions, where accuracy, procedural discipline, and clear allocation of legal responsibility are essential.
As a practising solicitor, Kwok is authorised to authenticate and certify documents for use overseas. Where legally permitted, he is able to meet clients remotely and certify documents electronically, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Real client experiences
They were fantastic at responding to every question I had and competently following through with every action that needed to be taken. I had an excellent time using their service, and would heartedly recommend them to anyone I know. Thanks again.
I had a very positive experience with Ginkgo Advisory and would happily recommend them.
They were professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. What really stood out was that even at an early stage—before I had formally engaged the firm—they were already willing to join discussions, help us think through the process, and clarify requirements with the overseas party. This was extremely helpful, as the other side was not very clear about what documents were needed or in what format.
They helped bring structure and clarity to what could otherwise have been a confusing situation. Once everything was confirmed, the notarisation and Apostille work was handled efficiently and without unnecessary back-and-forth. Communication throughout was clear and timely, which made the whole process much less stressful.
Overall, a reliable, well-organised, and trustworthy service. I would definitely work with Ginkgo Advisory again.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough. They turned what could have been an extremely stressful situation into a smooth process. They guided me through every step of the way and ensured all documents were delivered well before the deadline. They went above and beyond, offering thoughtful advice and generous support. They are truly worth their weight in gold.
