Eric served pupillage with Mr. Edwin Choy SC, Mr. Randy Shek, Mr. Paul Yip, and Mr. Herbert Leung. He then served extended pupillage with Mrs. Lisa Remedios and Mr. Marco Li.
Eric’s practice is predominantly on the criminal side. Having attended nearly a hundred legal visits, he is experienced in protecting the rights of arrested persons in police stations and other law enforcement departments.
