Dispute Resolution

Biography

I have joined Tees as an Associate Solicitor since March 2025 specialising in construction and property matters.

I started off my career as a structural engineer, and later changed to the legal field and qualified as a barrister in Hong Kong in 2014.ย  In my 9 years of practice as a barrister, I had advised and represented clients in numerous construction and land/property disputes.

I qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2023 and joined the construction team of a renowned national firm based in its Cambridge office where I advised and assisted clients on both contentious and non-contentious construction matters.

Delivering what you need

I understand that construction and land/property disputes are often complex and challenging to manage.ย  It can cause additional stress if the dispute involves oneโ€™s own home.

My technical background helps me discern the crucial issues in complicated situations and approach the disputes with a pragmatic perspective.

With my experience as a mediator and knowledge gained from my Master study in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution, I can advise clients on the appropriate alternative resolution method aiming for a quick and satisfactory outcome in a cost-effective way.

Expertise

Clear, honest legal advice. Excellent communication skills.
