Bella Cho

Bella has built over a decade of experience as in-house counsel for leading Korean corporations, including telecommunications and life insurance companies. In these roles, she advised senior executives on labour disputes, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance, with particular expertise in the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. She also handled complex corporate finance matters, including bond issuances and capital markets transactions, which provided her with a strong foundation in both legal and financial strategy. Her responsibilities extended to overseeing large-scale investment projects in infrastructure, energy, and natural resources—both domestically and internationally. This exposure allowed her to develop a sharp risk management perspective, enabling her to anticipate regulatory hurdles and evaluate investment feasibility, skills that remain central to her advisory practice today. Since relocating to Australia, Bella has broadened her expertise to assist both Korean and Australian companies through her work with H & H Lawyers and H & H Consulting. She provides practical solutions on cross-border investments, commercial real estate transactions, and regulatory matters, including FIRB approvals, shareholder agreements, and venture financing structures such as convertible notes. Her work bridges the gap between Korean and Australian legal and business environments, helping clients expand internationally with confidence. In addition, Bella delivers tailored advice on Korean legal issues affecting Australian-based clients, including inheritance, succession planning, and disputes involving cross-border assets. By combining her Korean regulatory experience with her Australian cross-border consulting practice, she offers corporations and individuals a truly integrated advisory service that covers market entry, investment strategy, compliance, and dispute resolution.
