Temple Chambers
Temple Chambers is lauded as ‘the best in class’ when it comes to competition law expertise in Hong Kong. ’An outstanding junior with a strong intellect who inspires much confidence as an advocate‘, Joshua Chan has key experience in a range of enforcement proceedings, including breaches of the First and Second Conduct Rules, as is evidenced in his representation of the respondent in Competition Commission v Linde HKO Limited and Others, a case regarding the first set of enforcement proceedings around a refusal to supply medical gas. Byron Chiu is another notable Rising Star at the set, and he too is active in a range of enforcement proceedings. Tim Parker SC was appointed senior counsel in 2025, joining Abraham Chan SC and Eva Sit SC in the set's silk ranks.
