Mark has joined the School of Law, City University of Hong Kong from the one of the higher education institutions in the U.K. His research interest lies in the law of trusts, financial and banking law (Investment Banking) and has authored and published a few books with a focus on banking and financial principles in Hong Kong, China and international practices.

His research focus is on private law on banking and financial transactions particularly on the over-the-counter financial derivatives. His research looks into the area where party autonomy and regulation intersect or interweave such as the regulatory change that might affect the financial transactions. His research thus involves broadly in two points: 1) how changes in regulation policies and market structure influence the private law based transactions in the markets and 2) how market participants respond to such changes. His works are influenced by HLA Hart N Luhmann and Gunther Teubner. He is also interested in using financial models ( i.e. (FV=1+i)n ) and economic theories (i.e. utility theory marginalism pareto efficiency) to explain the transactional model in order to support the change in private law. His research has been cited in the Singapore Court of Appeal case Alwie Handoyo v Tjong Very Sumito [2013] SGCA 44; the Singapore International Commercial Court case CPIT Investments Ltd v Qilin World Capital Ltd and another [2017] SGHC(I) 5; Smith and Hogan Criminal Law (14th edn OUP Oxford 2011) and A Arora Banking Law (Pearson London 2014). Mark has published in the following journals: Banking and Finance Law Review, Capital Markets Law Journal, the Conveyancer, the Company Lawyer, Hong Kong Law Journal, Journal of Business Law, Journal of Banking and Finance Law and Practice, Lloyds Maritime & Commercial Law Quarterly, Restitution Law Review and Trusts & Trustees.
