During his law school studies, Jason represented the University of Hong Kong to compete in the Willem C. Vis (East) Moot and the Intercollegiate Negotiation Competition in Tokyo (advocating in Japanese), and built a keen interest in international arbitration.

While engaging in a broad practice in international arbitration and cross-broader litigation (particularly in Hong Kong and Japan), Jason is also a keen academic writer in the interaction between international relations and public international law, and Tokugawa village law.
