Abraham Chan SC

Practice Areas

Abraham Chan SC’s practice spans commercial, constitutional and administrative law. He advises and acts as advocate in a wide range of complex, high-impact disputes for individuals and institutions at all levels of court in Hong Kong.

Much of Abraham’s advocacy is at the appellate levels, where he is often brought on fresh to lead in appealing or defending earlier judgments. Abraham has also acted as an independent, court-appointed amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) in matters involving novel and difficult points of legal principle before the Court of Final Appeal, Court of Appeal and Court of First Instance, and as counsel for the Secretary of Justice intervening in the public Interest.

Abraham has been cited in the Chambers & Partners guides (Global and Asia Pacific) as “a very intelligent and articulate barrister” with “an excellent brain and exceptional presentation skills” who “commands the court’s respect”.
