Founded in 1990, Deminor is a Band 1 Chambers & Partners international litigation funder with offices in Brussels, London, Hamburg, New York, Hong Kong, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm and Luxembourg.

In APAC, the firm funded its first case in the region in 2012 and opened its Hong Kong office in 2018, and has since continued to develop its regional presence and support clients on complex cross-border disputes.

Deminor’s name, derived from the French défense des minoritaires, reflects its origins in providing services to minority shareholders. Deminor is still very much defined by the pursuit of good causes and its determination to restore justice for clients.

Combining skill sets from 19 different nationalities and 22 languages, Deminor has actively supported recovery cases across a wide range of jurisdictions. In 77.8% of all concluded cases, Deminor’s clients achieved a positive recovery, and the average duration of concluded cases was four years.

In 2025, Deminor became one of the first litigation funders globally, and the first outside the US, to achieve Certified B Corporation™ status.

Des Voeux Chambers (“DVC”) was founded in 1984. Today, DVC is both a leading set and the largest set of barristers’ chambers in Hong Kong, comprising 104 practising barristers. Whilst justifiably proud of its history, DVC’s focus is on the ‘here and now’ and going forward. DVC has planned for and continues to plan for the future.

As of 2026, 25 members of DVC have been appointed Senior Counsel in Hong Kong and/or King’s Counsel in England & Wales. DVC’s well-established and structured intern, pupillage and recruitment policies are designed to create solid foundations for the future by ensuring that junior members are selected from the very top graduates in Hong Kong and elsewhere, with 38 Bar Scholars currently at DVC.

In 2025, DVC established the List of Independent Neutrals, which consists of individuals and specialists who, with respect to any issue in controversy, function impartially to aid parties in resolving the dispute, whether through mediation, arbitration, adjudication, private judging, or any other form of alternative dispute resolution, without practising as barristers. Members of List of Neutrals are independent from the operation of Des Voeux Chambers as a set of Barristers’ chambers, and do not participate in the affairs at Des Voeux Chambers.

Several members are qualified to practice in other jurisdictions including the People’s Republic of China, England & Wales, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, the United States of America, Bermuda, and the British Virgin Islands.
