He graduated with distinction in 2011. From 2015 to 2016, he served as Legal Counsel to the Competition Commission in Hong Kong, during which he further deepened his knowledge in the field, earning a Postgraduate Diploma in Economics for Competition Law from King’s College London. In 2016, Carter resumed his practice at Denis Chang’s Chambers, focusing on competition matters. He has represented a broad spectrum of clients, including respondents in high-profile cases before the Hong Kong Competition Tribunal.
