Biography

Adrian is recognised as one of Hong Kong Business Review’s ‘Most Influential Lawyers Under 40’ (2024), a “Rising Star” by Asian Legal Business (ALB), and a “Recommended Family and Divorce Lawyer” in Doyle’s Guide. He advises on a broad range of family and matrimonial matters, including pre- and post-nuptial agreements, separation, divorce, financial applications, and child arrangements.

His clientele includes chairpersons of listed companies, second-generation family business owners, internationally experienced SME entrepreneurs, and high net-worth individuals in the PRC. Adrian has particular experience navigating complex cross-border disputes and financial structures, including pension schemes, share options, deferred bonus arrangements, multi-jurisdictional assets, and trust-related entitlements, as well as maintenance for spouses and children.

He frequently advises PRC clients with substantial assets in Hong Kong, the PRC and other jurisdictions, often involving jurisdictional challenges and financial disclosure issues. His practice also includes advising on children’s matters such as international relocation and custody arrangements.

In addition, Adrian has substantial experience in contentious probate matters, including challenges to the validity of wills (on grounds such as lack of mental capacity and fraud), applications to set aside grants of representation, and disputes relating to estate administration.

Many of Adrian’s cases involve complex legal issues requiring coordination with lawyers across multiple jurisdictions to achieve clients’ objectives. Before specialising in family law and contentious probate, he practised as a general civil litigator, and draws on that technical background in his current work.

Adrian, an alumnus of the University of Hong Kong and Manchester University, has completed the STEP Certificate in International Trust Management with distinction and is on track to attain full STEP membership.
