Jasmine Cheung
Career
Jasmine’s practice covers a wide spectrum of civil and commercial disputes. Aside from company and insolvency matters (including winding up petitions, derivative actions, shareholder disputes, appointments of provisional liquidators and liquidators, and appeals against admissions or rejections of proofs of debt), her practice also encompasses securities and regulatory matters, asset recovery, property, trust, defamation, intellectual property and mental health law.
Jasmine has been recognised as a rising star in Commercial Disputes by Legal 500 (2023) as “a very bright junior. She’s intelligent, hardworking, and detailed minded, she is very well-prepared for every hearing, and her advocacy is well-paced, organised, and cuts to the chase.”
Jasmine has been involved in leading cases such as the Convoy litigation, keepwell bonds disputes concerning the Peking University Founder Group and the Tsinghua Group and winding-up proceedings involving listed companies such as the Logan Group and Lerthai Group. She regularly appears in courts both as sole advocate and as led junior, and is often instructed to act for financial and banking institutions and professional parties.
Prior to joining chambers, Jasmine completed her BA (Hons) in Law at the University of Cambridge on the Prince Philip Scholarship with Triple First Class Honours, obtaining a number of awards and mooting prizes. She went on to complete her BCL degree at the University of Oxford on scholarship, and she joined Chambers as a tenant in 2018 after completion of her pupillage with Mr. José-Antonio Maurellet SC, Mr. Derek CL Chan (now Mr. Derek CL Chan SC), Ms. Rachel Lam (now Ms. Rachel Lam SC) and Mr. Christopher Chain (now Mr. Christopher Chain SC).
