Benjamin’s practice encompasses a broad spectrum of criminal and civil law, having joined the esteemed Chambers in 2022. His legal career was preceded by a tenure at the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) Enforcement Division and a pivotal role at HSBC Global Private Banking’s trustee department, where he specialized in trust litigation, and managed complex cases in matrimonial, taxation, corporate, probate, and philanthropy.

莊大律師於2022年加入世紀大律師事務所,此前曾受王國豪大律師、陳偉彥大律師、張靈勤大律師及陳健強大律師的指導。他的職涯始於證券及期貨事務監察委員會的法規執行部,後轉至匯豐環球私人銀行信託部,專責信託訴訟以及涵蓋婚姻、稅務、公司、遺產認證及慈善事務規劃等複雜法律事務。

Colleagues and clients alike commend Benjamin for his comprehensive approach to criminal matters, where he has demonstrated proficiency in dealing with white-collar crimes, fraud, sexual offences, and a wide range of other serious criminal cases. His experience at a law enforcement agency has provided him with deep insights into the investigative process, particularly the nuances of search and seizure operations and the application of legal professional privilege (LPP) claims.

在刑事法領域,莊大律師以其處理從白領犯罪、殺人、人身傷害、毀壞罪、交通罪行、毒品相關罪行至移民罪行等廣泛案件的全面經驗聞名。他的執法機構背景讓他擁有對調查程序、搜查與扣押操作,以及法律專業特權申索的深刻理解。

In the regulatory sphere, Benjamin has established himself as an authority on SFC matters. Since the outset of his practice, he has been engaged in a variety of SFC cases, addressing market misconduct, corporate fraud, and misfeasance, among others. His ability to adeptly navigate complex legal inquiries, including responding to SFC notices and advising on disciplinary actions, is well-noted in the legal community.

在監管法律領域,莊大律師已處理眾多證監會相關案件,範圍包括市場失行為、企業欺詐、不當行為、中介不當行為及市場操縱等。無論是獨立處理或在其他具資歷的大律師帶領下處理案件均顯示出他在此領域的專長。他協助客戶應對《證券及期貨條例》(第571章)提出的各類查詢、保護法律專業特權,以及回應證監會的紀律處分建議。

Benjamin is also recognized for his advisory acumen, particularly in document review, drafting of pleadings, and providing strategic counsel. His expertise in reviewing and advising on compliance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486) is particularly valued, as is his experience in drafting advice for initial public offerings (IPOs).

此外,莊大律師在文件審查、起草訴狀和提供法律諮詢等方面的工作經驗豐富。他對《個人資料(私隱)條例》(第486章)的合規性進行了細致的審核,並在首次公開發行(IPO)方面提供了法律意見。

His commitment to expanding his breadth of knowledge and practice is evident in his handling of cases ranging from white-collar crimes and regulatory matters to securities, banking, personal injury claims, and estate planning. His proficiency extends to addressing commercial and contractual disputes, insolvency, winding-up proceedings, conveyancing, building management, and neighborhood disputes.
