Temple Chambers‘ labour and employment offering fields is noted to  ’consistently delivers high quality counsel, from junior to senior’ . The set includes two prominent senior practitioners in employment law, Sara Tong SC and Queenie Lau SC, both having been called to the Inner Bar in 2022 and 2024 respectively. Highlighted as a ‘dogged advocate’, Sara Tong SC typically represents claimants in disputes pertaining to the status of post-termination claims and entitlements and employment contract breaches for both private companies and the civil service. Queenie Lau SC is active in highly valuable employment civil claims, representing both claimants and plaintiffs, in litigation pertaining to employment misconduct, fiduciary duties and profit sharing, among other complex labour-related matters.
