Elizabeth CheungTemple Chambers

Temple Chambers garners praise as ‘the pre-eminent set of barristers’ chambers in Hong Kong, with unrivalled strength in commercial law’. Amongst the silks of the set, Charles Manzoni SC (who is a silk both in Hong Kong and in England and Wales, where he is also a member of 39 Essex Chambers ) has a strong reputation for handling international litigation, arbitration, and mediation proceedings in commercial disputes concerning the construction and technology sectors. Alexander Stock SC is another notable senior counsel, and his commercial practice encompasses disputes concerning banking matters, company law, insurance cases, professional negligence, and shareholders disputes. Abraham Chan SC is acting in the case of Xu Hongbiao v. Oasis Investment Group Ltd and Others, a complex multi-jurisdictional dispute between former partners of a large property joint venture. Also of note is Charles Hollander KC, who has a dual tenancy at Brick Court Chambers in London. Anthony Chan SC took Silk in 2023, and the set also houses a number of impressive juniors, including Elizabeth Cheung, who is instructed in the case of Xiamen Xinjingdi Group Co Ltd v Eton Properties Ltd, which concerned a dispute regarding an agreement surrounding the right to develop land in Xiamen. Queenie Lau is another key name, and she is fluent in Mandarin. Tim Parker joined the set in November 2023 from Denis Chang’s Chambers – he remains a dual tenant with Blackstone Chambers in London.
