Heidi Chui, partner and head of the dispute resolution department and the banking and finance department at Stevenson, Wong & Co., is a distinguished litigator who manages a team of eight lawyers with a legal support team of over ten members in Hong Kong.

 

Chui has over 21 years of experience as a solicitor in Hong Kong. She is among the first batch of Hong Kong lawyers getting the GBA lawyer qualification. She is an arbitrator on the panel of various institutions, such as HKIAC, CIETAC, SCIA, SHIAC and many others. She is the only Hong Kong based member on the Women In Arbitration Committee of the HKIAC, underscoring her commitment to the promotion and success of female practitioners in arbitration and Hong Kong’s legal services.

Chui has recently successfully assisted a leading online media conglomerate in resisting the enforcement of a substantial arbitral award exceeding $1 billion. The matter involved fighting battles in multiple jurisdictions in the US, EU, BVI, Cayman Islands and Mainland China. The success in that case, given Hong Kong’s pro-enforcement stance, showcased Chui’s strategic brilliance and tenacity.

Beyond her legal triumphs, Chui passionately contributes to the legal community. Actively promoting Hong Kong as an international arbitration centre, she has trained and lectured students on international arbitration at academic institutions including Peking University, Fudan University and The University of Hong Kong. As a member of the Arbitration Committee of The Law Society of Hong Kong, she had strongly advocated for Hong Kong as an international dispute resolution centre at Legislative Council meetings on the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services.

Beyond her busy legal practice, Chui also gives back to the community through various initiatives. She regularly shares insights on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) among law students and promotes new opportunities for young people in the Greater Bay Area. As a member of the Executive Committee of HKU Law Alumni Association, and as a mentor to HKU law students, she grooms and nurtures young legal talents to prepare for their future career.

Chui has demonstrated remarkable achievements, leadership, and her strong commitment to advancing Hong Kong as an international dispute-resolution hub. Her exceptional track record of accomplishments, both inside and outside the courtroom, solidifies her status as a trailblazer and a pivotal figure in the legal community.
