About us

Des Voeux Chambers is a leading set of Chambers based in Hong Kong with a well-established history dating back 40 years. Building on its history and Tier 1 reputation, its Members have cultivated a reputation for combining intellectual rigour with effective advocacy. As one of the largest sets of Chambers in HK, DVC is home to over 90 astute legal minds, many of whom have spearheaded groundbreaking cases. Helmed by Winnie Tam SC, JP, DVC houses 25 Members who have been called to the Inner Bar and appointed King's Counsel & Senior Counsel in HK and elsewhere. DVC houses leading specialists in administrative & public, arbitration & mediation, chancery, commercial, company & insolvency, competition, construction, criminal, employment & anti-discrimination, family, IP, land & planning, securities, and tax. This broad range of expertise makes DVC a convenient one-stop shop for all areas of civil and commercial advisory, as well as dispute resolution including mediation. DVC’s value proposition also lies in being able to handle cases which raise multiple issues in more than one field, making members agile and adept at responding to clients’ needs. Given that Members hail from different jurisdictions, DVC’s barristers are multilingual and are accustomed to working with different time zones. Independent and self-employed, DVC’s barristers are frequently retained by opposing sides in the same dispute, in both arbitration and litigation and critically, treat communication as confidential and privileged, and avoid conflicts of interest. DVC’s seasoned barristers actively participate in all forms of international dispute resolution including arbitration and mediation. DVC has a strong track record of distinguished judicial & public appointments. Some of our Members have been appointed as Justices of the High Court, including the present President of the Competition Tribunal. Our Senior Members sit as Recorders & Deputy High Court Judges of the Court of First Instance.
