​

Ulysses has appeared in all levels of court up to the Court of Appeal (CA), either as a sole advocate or led junior.  In a recent CA case Premier Capital Management Ltd v. So Wang Fung and Another [2026] 2 HKLRD 1015, Ulysses represented the borrower appellants where the CA held inter alia in the Appellant's favour that on a proper construction of the Money Lenders Ordinance, once a sum is set off under s.27(4), the sum so set off must be used as “principal” under s.2(1) and (3) in calculating the effective interest rate.

​

Prior to joining the Bar, Ulysses worked for a number of years in the medical supplies and equipment industry, and then at a respected solicitors' firm.

​

Ulysses is now developing a predominantly civil practice, accepting instructions across all areas of Chambers’ work.
