Leung specialises in shipping, with a focus on contentious matters including maritime, insurance and commercial disputes. He joins HWB along with consultant Heidi Sheung, senior associate Eviana Leung and other fee-earners and support staff.

HWB has grown significantly since its launch in 2012, and with the addition of Leung, now has 16 partners resident in Hong Kong.
