Richard Chan was admitted to the bar in Hong Kong. To practise at the Hong Kong Bar, a person must first be admitted by the Court as a barrister of the High Court, a power governed by section 27 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance.
Hong Kong's admission procedures for barristers include a pupillage requirement, a period of practical training in chambers before a candidate may practise at the bar. This structure reflects the separate barrister and solicitor branches of the Hong Kong legal profession.
Richard Chan works as a partner at ASSOCIA TES. His legal career is based in Hong Kong, where he was admitted to the bar.
