Hong Kong law firm Ince has appointed Cheung Kwok Kit, former consultant at Deacons, as senior consultant and co-head of construction, strengthening the firm’s capabilities in both contentious and non?contentious matters in this area.
Cheung brings more than 30 years of practice experience. He served as a partner at Deacons from 2000 to 2024 before transitioning to a consultant role in January 2025. He has extensive experience advising on complex and high-value construction and engineering matters, with work spanning litigations, arbitrations, mediations and general advisory matters across Hong Kong, Macau and the Chinese mainland. He has acted for developers, contractors and subcontractors, representing various stakeholders in the construction sector.
On Chinese mainland matters, Cheung has participated in CIETAC arbitrations in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. He has also served as an arbitrator and mediator in construction and commercial disputes, and has significant experience in handling cross?border disputes.
Cheung combines professional expertise in both construction and law. He began his career training as a quantity surveyor before entering the legal profession, qualifying as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 1994, and in England and Wales in 1995. He is currently a fellow of both the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
At Ince, he will jointly lead the firm’s construction practice with managing partner Ian Lo.
Cheung has been recognised multiple times in China Business Law Journal’s A-list of top lawyers.
The Ince Group entered administration in April 2023, while Ince Hong Kong has operated independently since 2018.
