Commercial Litigation

At our Hong Kong-based law firm, we provide clients with practical, strategic, and cost-effective legal solutions tailored to their commercial and personal objectives. We understand the fast-paced, high-stakes environment in which our clients operate, and we are committed to delivering advice and representation that is both commercially sound and legally robust.

Our litigation practice is grounded in a deep understanding of Hong Kong’s legal system and business landscape. We offer clear, pragmatic guidance aimed at resolving disputes efficiently, minimising risk, and protecting your interests—whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings.

We act for a diverse clientele, including multinational corporations, listed companies, SMEs, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals. Our team has experience handling complex, cross-border disputes as well as local matters across a wide spectrum of industries and practice areas.

Our areas of litigation and dispute resolution expertise include:

We represent banks, financial institutions, and borrowers in disputes involving loan defaults, guarantees, security enforcement, mis-selling of financial products, and regulatory compliance. Our team is well-versed in SFC and HKMA regulations and the dynamics of Hong Kong’s financial sector.

We act for creditors in recovering unpaid debts, including through statutory demands, winding-up and bankruptcy proceedings, garnishee orders, and asset tracing. Our approach balances legal pressure with commercial diplomacy to optimise recovery.

Often the first step in asserting legal rights, a well-drafted demand letter can lead to resolution without the need for litigation. We craft persuasive letters that clearly communicate your legal position and the consequences of non-compliance, encouraging early settlement.

In cases involving fraudulent conduct or dissipation of assets, we act swiftly to protect and recover our clients’ interests. Our team is experienced in handling complex, multi-jurisdictional matters where assets are hidden or transferred across borders.

We assist clients in recognising and enforcing foreign court judgments and arbitral awards in Hong Kong, in accordance with the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Ordinance and common law principles. We also advise on resisting enforcement where appropriate.

We act swiftly to apply for interim injunctions, Mareva (freezing) injunctions, Anton Piller orders, and other urgent relief to protect assets, confidential information, or preserve the status quo pending final determination.

We help protect your innovations and brand identity by pursuing or defending claims related to copyright infringement, trademark disputes, patent violations, and trade secrets. Our approach combines litigation strategy with an understanding of creative and commercial value.

We represent clients in claims against professionals such as lawyers, accountants, architects, and financial advisors who have failed to meet their professional obligations. Our team evaluates the merits of each case to pursue compensation or defend unjust claims.

We represent clients in investigations and proceedings initiated by Hong Kong regulatory bodies, including the SFC, HKMA, HKICPA, Medical Council, and other professional and licensing bodies. We help protect your reputation and ensure procedural fairness.

We advise on minority shareholder rights, unfair prejudice petitions, derivative actions, partnership dissolution, and disputes concerning management and profit sharing. Where appropriate, we pursue remedies under the Companies Ordinance and common law.

We defend individuals and corporations in white collar criminal investigations and prosecutions, including cases of fraud, bribery, corruption, money laundering, and insider trading. We also advise on compliance with the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and assist in ICAC and police investigations.
