Tommy joined Chambers after completing his pupillage with Mr. Michael Delaney, Mr. Jonathan Ah-Weng, Mr. Kenneth Lee, and Mr. Kenny Lin.

Prior to joining the Bar, Tommy obtained his BA in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He then worked in the finance sector in San Francisco before returning to Hong Kong to obtain his JD and PCLL from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He subsequently obtained his LLM from Columbia Law School in New York, USA, where he graduated with honours as a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar. He was also admitted as an attorney in New York.

While reading law at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Tommy was an avid mooter and participated in the Willem C.

He also represented the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the Herbert Smith Freehills Competition Law Moot in London where he was also selected as an oralist. Together with his teammates, they were awarded first place in the oral rounds as well as best pleadings in the competition.

Tommy is developing a broad civil and commercial practice. He has experience dealing with matters in a wide range of areas including, but not limited to, trusts, contractual disputes, personal injuries, company and shareholder disputes, land/multi-storey building disputes, mortgage actions, and taxation of costs.
