Prince's Chambers is praised as a ‘well-established set’ with its barristers handling a range of commercial disputes, including company law and shareholder disputes, insolvency matters, and commercial arbitration proceedings. Jeremy Bartlett SC is particularly skilled in insolvency matters, while barrister and arbitrator Eugene Kwok specialises in commercial matters concerning contract and transaction disputes, insolvencies and restructuring cases, shareholder disputes, bankruptcies, and private equity cases. Kevin Lee is another notable junior - he is acting in Han Jaejoon v Lee Sang Young, which concerns a large overseas shareholder dispute arising from Korea. The set is also home to Sebastian Hughes, who is an arbitrator and mediator.
