Chan specialises in commercial litigation, contentious regulatory matters and international arbitration. She focuses on cross-border contractual disputes, joint venture and shareholder disputes, fraud, enforcement of securities and debt recovery.  Her practice covers industry sectors such as financial services, mining, real estate, entertainment, energy as well as manufacturing.
