Personal bio

I have a broad range of experience in advising multinational and local private equity funds and developers in numerous significant property transactions by way of share deals in Hong Kong. Alongside, I have worked on diversified range of asset acquisitions and disposals, conveyancing projects and real estate financing works. I am currently a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (MCIArb) as well as an arbitrator on the panel of Guangzhou Arbitration Commission and Dongguan Arbitration Commission.

I am devoted to serving the community and the legal profession (including my legal practice in commercial real estate).

I serve as a member of the Steering Committee on Rule of Law Education chaired by the Secretary for Justice of HKSARG, the Appeal Panel (Housing) of the Housing Bureau of HKSARG, the Liquor Licensing Board of the HKSARG, the Education Working Group of the Environmental Campaign Committee, the All-China Youth Federation, the Hong Kong Government’s Election Committee (the fifth sector), the Standing Committee of Member Services of the Law Society of Hong Kong and the Young Lawyers’ Committee of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, a nonprofit organisation for the legal profession within the Commonwealth. I am currently also an Advisor on Panel of Film Censorship under the Film Censorship Ordinance (Chapter 392 of the laws of Hong Kong).

Separately, I also assume various leading positions in nonprofit organisations and professional bodies, including Chairlady of the Greater China Legal Affairs Young Solicitors’ Sub-Committee and the Organising Committee of Teen Talk of the Law Society of Hong Kong; Vice Chairlady of Y Legalites, a young lawyers’ platform, Council Member of Hong Kong Professionals and Senior Executives Association, member of the Hong Kong-registered Chapter of the China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, as well as Vice President of Hong Kong Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and Hong Kong Stone Industrial and Commercial Chamber.
