Under the expert leadership of Christopher Tung from Hong Kong and also able to lean into an extensive international network of offices, should the need arise, K&L Gates is well-positioned to advise local (including Hong Kong and Chinese entities) and international clients across a range of inbound and outbound construction mandates. Much of this work has a contentious angle, whether from a project risk assessment or in conventional litigation/arbitration. Tung takes the lead on much of this, and as well as his extensive knowledge of international arbitration procedures (governed under a myriad rules), also adds value on matters involving environment and climate change issues. Sacha Cheong also regularly handles contentious construction matters as a function of his broad-based litigation offering, and is adept at handling matters with highly technical issues by virtue of his civil engineering qualification.
