Temple Chambers

The team housed at Temple Chambers , which is praised as a ‘go-to set’ is particularly notable for its presence in civil and disciplinary investigations and proceedings, and its members are sought after by a range of clients, including regulatory and enforcement authorities, corporates, and individuals. One such member of the group is Laurence Li SC, who has appeared before all regulatory and judicial authorities in Hong Kong in cases pertaining to financial regulatory matters. Of recent note, Li SC is acting for the defendant in SFC v Segantii Capital & Ors, a case concerning the prosecution of one of the largest hedge funds in Asia following allegations of insider trading. For Sara Tong SC, commercial-related litigation is a key area of activity, and she acted for the authority in Securities and Futures Commission v Superb Summit International Group Limited & Ors, which concerns proceedings taken in relation to the disqualification of 15 directors and officers following allegations of breach of duties. Abraham Chan SC and Queenie Lau SC are also active members of the set in this arena.
