The other co-lead, Nicholas Poynder, covers both contentious and transactional work from the Shanghai office, Patrick Yeung primarily focuses on disputes arising from personal injury and shipbuilding scenarios, and Henry Fung covers crew claims, enforcement, and ship mortgages from his base in Hong Kong. Jenny Chester stands out for her work on maritime casualty-related claims.
