Des Voeux Chambers (Chinese: 德輔大律師事務所) is a set of chambers in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1984 by an amalgamation of a few prominent former members of the Attorney General’s Chambers and former law lecturers who had taught at the University of Hong Kong‘s Faculty of Law.[3]
Des Voeux Chambers is widely known as a leading set of chambers in Hong Kong, alongside Temple Chambers, attributing to more than one-fourth of its barristers having been appointed senior counsel or king’s counsel. It has the largest set of barristers’ chambers in Hong Kong, comprising 100 practising barristers.[4][5][6]
The chambers was first headed by Neil Kaplan KC, who was appointed High Court Judge in 1990 and later headed the Construction & Arbitration List of the High Court. He was then succeeded by John Griffiths KC SC, formerly the Attorney General of Hong Kong from 1979 to 1983. He was succeeded by Daniel Fung KC SC, formerly the Solicitor General of Hong Kong from 1994 to 1998.[3]
