Shen Yi brings the same qualities of competitiveness, commitment and an uncompromising sense of fair play into the Courtroom that characterized his school sports career when he played tennis at a national level and for Cambridge. Always a keen debater , no one is surprised that Shen Yi's still talking, but this time for a living. His practice as an advocate sees him covering a wide range of legal areasA voracious reader and self-confessed book junkie, life and limb are constantly at risk of being buried in a book avalanche at home in his study. According to his associates, he is equally prone to quoting Spiderman or Shakespeare in his written submissions.
