Pang is experienced in advising global corporate clients on cross-border disputes, and also acts for clients on investor-state cases. He joined the HKIAC in 2017 from Shearman & Sterling’s London office, where he was an associate in the international arbitration practice, spent nearly nine years with the firm.
