Career
Jocelyn advises on all aspects of matrimonial law including divorce, prenuptial agreements, child care and custody and financial disputes. She advises husbands, wives, and unmarried partners. She is an experienced advocate and has also cross examined witnesses in open court.
As well as handling her own case load, Jocelyn has been involved with some of the most high profile cases to come before the courts in Hong Kong as part of a team involving high net worth individuals with diverse and complex issues. This exposure to large cases has given her experience in dealing with prenuptial agreements, trusts, corporate structures and injunctions, and co-ordinating with other solicitors overseas and experts, as well as leading counsel in Hong Kong and London.
Jocelyn has considerable experience in divorce cases with trusts involved as well as complex cross-jurisdictional divorces.
Her cases have recently been concerned with issues of jurisdiction, financial discovery and dealing with the preliminary issue of beneficial ownership. She has been involved with a number of child relocation cases and cases dealing with children’s custody, care and control.
