Min is a commercial disputes lawyer who has extensive experience advising on China-related cross-border commercial disputes, international arbitration, and complex commercial litigation. He is qualified to practise in Hong Kong, England and Wales, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China. He regularly conducts arbitrations under the rules of major arbitration institutions, including HKIAC, CIETAC, LCIA, ICC, SIAC, SCMA, and LMAA. He has lived and worked in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and London, and applies his international outlook and local experience to providing a strong, tailor-made commercial litigation strategy for his clients.
Min focuses on a broad range of corporate and commercial disputes work, with particular emphasis on handling high-value shareholder and equity-related disputes, complex multi-jurisdictional commercial disputes, fraud and asset recovery, cybercrime, contentious insolvencies and bankruptcies, receiverships, commodities and trading disputes, and the worldwide enforcement of judgments and arbitration awards. He also has solid experience in contentious matters involving allegations of commercial fraud, and has, on various occasions, applied for Mareva injunctions (asset-freezing orders) and Norwich Pharmacal orders (court orders to compel the disclosure of information and documents by innocent third parties).
Min’s outstanding practice has received wide recognition. He is a recognised and ranked practitioner in Chambers Asia-Pacific, where he is described as “very keen to provide thoughtful and commercially-minded advice to protect his clients’ best interests. His legal knowledge is also impressive, but it is his ability to identify the key issues of a case and offer sensible solutions at short notice without compromising on quality that sets him apart in the shipping world. This ability, combined with his meticulousness in every case he handles, makes him our go-to lawyer.” He is recommended by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific, where clients have said he is “very professional and hardworking”, has “an excellent understanding of Chinese mores”, and is a “solid practitioner” who delivers “prompt responses and easy communication with Chinese clients”.
