Jackson Ng MCIArb

Partner & Barrister

Commercial Dispute Resolution, Asset Recovery, Financial Crime, POCA, Commercial Advisory, Cross-border Litigation

Jackson is a barrister and partner whose practice encompasses commercial dispute resolution, asset recovery, and financial crime, with a particular focus on matters with a cross-border dimension. Fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, with working knowledge of Dutch, he acts for individuals, corporates, and financial institutions — particularly for clients based in or with connections to Greater China and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

A significant part of Jackson's caseload involves tracing and recovering assets across borders. He has particular expertise in Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) proceedings, including account freezing orders, forfeiture applications, and variation proceedings, frequently in cases where the underlying funds have moved through multiple jurisdictions. His work in this area demands a detailed understanding of how domestic enforcement mechanisms interact with international financial regulations, and he regularly advises clients on strategies for protecting and recovering assets in these complex situations.

Jackson's cross-border expertise extends beyond contentious work. He advises on non-contentious commercial matters including corporate structuring, joint ventures, and regulatory compliance for businesses operating between the UK, Greater China, and other jurisdictions. Clients value the continuity of having a single adviser who understands both the transactional landscape and the disputes that can arise from it — whether that means structuring a deal to minimise future risk or, when disputes do arise, pursuing or defending claims with a thorough understanding of the underlying commercial arrangements.

Jackson also practises from 33 Chancery Lane as an Associate Member of Chambers, where his practice focuses on white-collar crime, financial crime, and commercial dispute resolution. 33 Chancery Lane is ranked by both The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for financial crime. If you would like to instruct him as an advocate, please contact their clerks directly.

Jackson also has growing experience in family law, particularly in conducting high-value divorce cases involving cross-border assets. His work in this area includes advising on financial settlements and asset division, and navigating the complexities of international family disputes.

In addition to his legal practice, Jackson serves as the Unitary Councillor for Beaconsfield on Buckinghamshire Council, having been re-elected on 1 May 2025. He now chairs the Standards and General Purposes Committee and sits on both the Growth, Infrastructure and Housing Select Committee and the East & South Buckinghamshire Area Planning Committee. His other political roles include Deputy Mayor (2021–2023) and Mayor (2023–2024) of Beaconsfield, and his public-service experience deepens his understanding of regulatory frameworks and governance issues.
