Band 2
Harris Chan frequently represents clients from the PRC and Hong Kong in shareholder disputes, estate disputes, interim measures and breach of SPA disputes. He is also equipped to advise on regulatory defence matters.

He is very respected and very good; he's one of those who no one hates. He's very friendly and does a good job, with loads of experience.

Harris is the savviest of solicitors. I'd go to him for matters that are the most time-sensitive and high-stakes, requiring quick wit in a fight.

He has the ability to manage clients' expectations and devise a strategic approach to offer a realistic, achievable solution. He is also able to assemble a team package which is good value for money.
