Overview

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Gabriel studied for his law degree at the University of Nottingham in the UK, during which time he gained experience in the legal profession via mini pupillages at various barristers chambers in Hong Kong and through internships at law firms in Hong Kong and London.

After graduating, he gained a further year’s work experience in the offices of two international law firms in Hong Kong before completing his Postgraduate Certificate in Laws at City University, following which he joined BC&C in 2021.
