The ‘exceptionally strong and experienced’ team at Johnson Stokes & Master ’consistently delivers high-quality work’ to developers, employers and contractors on contentious and non-contentious matters, including those with multi-jurisdictional issues (where the team is particularly well-positioned to act by virtue of its expansive network of international offices). ‘Highly experienced’ team head Geoffrey Chan has ’great strategic vision’, which he effectively draws upon to ensure clients receive ‘practical and commercial solutions’ across a range of contentious construction work, including legal proceedings, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution in Hong Kong, China and Macau. Menachem Hasofer has a ’strong ability to analyse complex facts and difficult areas of law’, including complex judicial review proceedings as well as conventional arbitration proceedings. Mei Ling Lew ‘is very good at handling large-scale complex disputes’ for Hong Kong-based public and private bodies, while Tom Fu, who splits his time between Hong Kong and Beijing, has vast experience in China-related construction work.
