Formidable litigator with a dual powerhouse practice in complex family law and high-stakes public law.
Wong Hiu-Chong (黃曉莊) is a formidable litigator with a dual powerhouse practice in complex family law and high-stakes public law. Admitted as a solicitor in 2011, she frequently advises on heavyweight judicial reviews, challenging administrative decisions on behalf of individuals and marginalised groups in areas spanning environmental town-planning, immigration, and equality rights.
In her matrimonial and family practice, she works with individuals on high-conflict divorce, financial arrangements, custody, and complex parentage matters. Her approach is steady and practical, with particular attention to the realities families face during transition. She handles parental alienation, allegations of domestic violence and child abuse, and identity-related caregiving issues. She works closely with modern and diverse family structures, including same-sex couples and LGBTI individuals navigating relationship breakdown, co-parenting, and documentation challenges. Before joining the firm, she was a partner leading the family and civil litigation team at a prominent public-interest law practice in Hong Kong.
