Deacons

‘Very knowledge about construction industry best practice’, Deacons provides ’good practical advice’ to developers, employers and contractors across a myriad local and pan-Asian construction projects and disputes. The team is abreast across the full range of contractual documentation governing construction projects, including NEC and BIM contracts that are increasingly being favoured in the context of public sector projects. Under the guidance of the ‘knowledgeable’ KK Cheung, the team is, however, best-known for its contentious expertise, where it is able to combine ’technical proficiency with a pragmatic, client-centric approach, consistently delivering favourable outcomes’. Joseph Chung  has an outstanding reputation for handling construction arbitrations, and is one of only a handful of solicitor advocates in Hong Kong with admission to also appear in the Singapore International Commercial Court. The ‘very proactive and client-centric’ Justin Yuen also excels at contentious construction matters, while consultant Stanley Lo  has vast experience across both contentious and non-contentious mandates, including in the context of heavy civil engineering, railway and other infrastructure projects in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China.
