Lisa joined Chambers in 2020 after completion of pupillage with Mr. M. K. Wong S.C., Mr. Tim Wong, Mr. Valentine Yim, Mr. Tony Ko, Mr. Peter Duncan S.C., and Ms. Catherine Wong.
Lisa is developing a broad criminal and civil practice and has experience in matters spanning a wide spectrum of practice areas. She has appeared both in her own right and as a led junior in the Court of Appeal, the Court of First Instance, the District Court and the Magistrates’ Courts. Besides, she has experience in handling disciplinary matters of professional bodies. She also acted as counsel-on-fiat for the prosecution in the Magistrates’ Courts and is currently on the Legal Aid Panel for criminal matters.
Lisa has experience in a wide range of criminal cases, both at trial and appellate level, such as misconduct in public office, white-collar crimes including money laundering and corruption, fraud, sexual offences, assault and wounding offences, criminal damage, general and serious road traffic offences (including dangerous driving causing death), drug-related offences and immigration offences. She also has experience in doing High Court bail applications. Further, she is regularly instructed to attend legal visits at police stations, ICAC, Immigration Department and Labour Department.
In her first year of practice, Lisa has been led by Mr. M. K. Wong S.C. (and with Mr. Ronny Leung) to act for a defendant in an 85-day trial in the District Court regarding the offence of misconduct in public office committed by three public eye doctors in Caritas Medical Centre (HKSAR v Yau Shing Kin & Others [2020] HKDC 1177). The Defendant was acquitted of all three charges.
Subsequently in HKSAR v Eugene Yeoh Kim Loong and Another [2021] HKDC 1560; [2022] 5 HKLRD 1082, Lisa represented the 1st Defendant (being led by Mr. M. K. Wong S.C. and with Ms. Sylvia Tung), then Joint Head of the IPO Vetting team of HKEx, who was charged with misconduct in public office and bribery (concerning $9.15 million) in a District Court trial. The Defendant was acquitted of all charges.
Alongside her criminal practice, Lisa has maintained a general civil practice in contract, trusts, land (including tenancy matters and adverse possession), contentious probate, and matrimonial cases. She is regularly instructed to appear in various interlocutory applications in her own right, including interlocutory injunctions and Mareva injunctions.
Lisa accepts instructions for both advocacy and advisory work in all areas of practice.
