Angela joined Chambers in 2017, following a month serving as marshal to The Honourable Madam Justice Chu, VP, and pupillage with Mr Chan Chi Hung SC, Mr Bruce Tse SC, and Ms Ann Lui.

She has particular experience in defamation and reputation-related matters, in which she represents individuals—including clients with established public profiles—and corporate entities. She provides strategic advice and advocacy in sensitive cases where legal, reputational, and commercial considerations frequently converge.

Her commercial and corporate practice encompasses disputes arising from complex business relationships and transactions, often involving intricate factual matrices, substantial documentation, and difficult questions of law. Such disputes frequently have a cross-border dimension, particularly in matters involving Mainland China. She acts in matters concerning contractual obligations, corporate affairs, shareholder and management disputes, securities, finance, and property interests, approaching each case with close attention to both its legal merits and commercial context.

Angela also advises and represents clients on probate and family trust matters, with particular experience in disputes spanning multiple generations. These matters frequently involve substantial property interests and complex questions concerning the administration, ownership, control, and succession of valuable family assets.

Her practice further extends to personal injury and fatal claims, as well as death inquests. She has acted in significant cases that have attracted public and media attention, navigating the evidential, procedural, and sensitive factual issues arising in such proceedings with care and rigour.

Aside from litigation, Angela is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and obtained her Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration in 2023. She has experience acting for parties in construction, aviation and commercial arbitrations, including disputes involving technical subject matter, specialist evidence, and substantial commercial interests. She is included on the Hong Kong Bar Association’s List of Arbitrators.

In the public sphere, Angela advises and represents government bodies and statutory boards in public-law and regulatory matters. Her work includes judicial review proceedings, statutory appeals, non-refoulement claims, and professional disciplinary matters, reflecting her experience in complex questions of statutory interpretation, procedural fairness, and regulatory compliance.
