Elsie Liu is the Head of the Family Law Group at Haldanes and has been focusing on matrimonial and family law for over 25 years.

She is one of the top divorce lawyers in Hong Kong who specialises not only in high-net-worth divorces but also in providing advice on matrimonial law to both the local and expatriate communities.

Elsie has a good reputation for her ability to litigate or negotiate a full range of family and matrimonial issues, including premarital, marital, divorce and separation, assets division and maintenance, domestic violence as well as drafting pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.

She also deals with a lot of child issues which involve high-conflict custody, care and control, and access applications as well as cross-border divorces that involve complex international jurisdiction issues.

Over the years, Elsie has built up a strong relationship with barristers in both Hong Kong and London, matrimonial law firms in other jurisdictions, child psychologists; forensic accountants, and mediators and can call upon them for effective support.

Apart from her litigation experience, Elsie is also a well-respected, accredited Family Mediator who is well-known in the industry. Given her passion for helping parents resolve children’s matters, she has experience in child-inclusive mediation.
