Appeal Boards and Tribunals

Members of Liberty Chambers appear before a wide range of boards and tribunals in Hong Kong, which regulate professional bodies, licensed activities, and statutory groups under distinct legislative frameworks with tailored internal rules.

These bodies oversee licensing and permits in sectors like healthcare, law, education, and professional services, ensuring statutory requirements are met for granting or revoking. They also adjudicate employment, professional conduct, and engagement matters with universities, government departments, and statutory organisations. Advocacy requires adapting to informal procedures and engaging community members with relevant expertise.

Members of Liberty Chambers provide comprehensive representation across tribunal settings, from healthcare regulators to educational boards and licensing authorities, navigating specific legislation and rules. They assist with evidence gathering, witness statements, and procedure compliance for thorough preparation. In adverse decisions, they handle appeals, advising on grounds and challenges. Beyond representation, they offer regulatory compliance advice and strategic planning.

Engaging members of Liberty Chambers ensures specialised advocacy suited to tribunal dynamics, enhancing success through respectful, persuasive presentation. Clients benefit from reduced risks in licensing and conduct matters, informed guidance on implications, and effective support in appeals or higher courts, promoting fair outcomes in self-regulatory contexts.
