Prince's Chambers

Rede Chambers ‘comprises a knowledgeable group of senior counsel and junior counsel who are highly proficient in matters relating to commercial disputes’. For ’outstanding senior counsel‘ Ambrose Ho SC, financial and insolvency cases are a key area of focus, while Norman Nip SC ’leaves no stone unturned‘; his expertise extends across company and shareholder disputes. Among the juniors, ’eloquent advocate‘ Clark Wang is skilled in cross-border contractual disputes and litigation surrounding securities law; in Achieve Goal Holdings Ltd v Zhong Xin Ore-Material Holding Co Lt, he acted for two plaintiffs seeking ownership of a valuable coal mine. Arbitrator and mediator Thomas Lee ’is a very hard-working and diligent junior counsel‘. Joyce Leung ’demonstrates exemplary advocacy skills‘ and the set benefits from her expertise in accounting and finance, therefore broadening her commercial litigation practice. Leung, of recent note, acted for the claimant in Tasty Catering Group Limited & Anor v Cheng Hung Kit & Others, which concerned a majority shareholder resisting being removed from the board and management of a company.
