Lawrence’s career at the criminal Bar requires little introduction. He is widely admired for his mastery of advocacy and forensic skills, and many at the Bar have benefitted enormously from working with him. He has conducted cases covering the widest spectrum: from major triad cases in the 1980’s, insider dealing inquiries in the 2000’s, and corruption and fraud cases throughout his career, to the numerous trials arising from social and political upheavals since 2014.
Besides representing clients in trial or on appeal, Lawrence is often involved in advisory work. He charts the optimal route for clients to attain their goals and walks them through it, thereby helping them avoid legal and/ or regulatory pitfalls, and resolving their problems without having to go through expensive litigation.
