Vod is a practising barrister with a focus on civil litigation, especially in the areas of company, commercial, intellectual property, employment, discrimination, land/property, landlord and tenant, tort including personal injury, and banking laws.

In particular, his spectrum of practice covers, in the area of company law, advising a listed company’s investment vehicle on its shareholders’ rights, and seeking reliefs on behalf of a company falling foul of the Companies Ordinance; regarding the employment law, assisting a worldwide leader of technical solutions in a hotly contested employment dispute, advising an international health care solution provider on a labour dispute involving a question of equal opportunity, and seeking an injunction order against a former employee for enforcement of restrictive covenants; and, concerning the law of intellectual property, seeking an injunctive relief for breach of confidence, advising in two separate cases of pharmaceutical patents involving an interesting point of law, and arguing a novel point of law in a trade mark dispute.

Vod also acts as defence counsel in criminal litigation, from appearing before the Court of Appeal to advocating an unprecedented point of law in magistracy appeal to defending cases, for example, involving a corruption offence, an infringement of intellectual property rights, or a breach of trust with an amount in question close to HK$20 million.

Prior to practising at the Bar, Vod was a part-time university lecturer in Canada on topics including information technology, e-business and management science, and also earned years of business experience from enterprises, for example, specialising in technological advances such as global positioning systems and information technology.
