Bernard Man SC is a Hong Kong Senior Counsel, called in Hong Kong and in England and Wales (Middle Temple) in 2000, appointed Senior Counsel in 2015 and practising from Temple Chambers. On 31 March 2015 the Chief Justice, Geoffrey Ma, announced under section 31A of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance the appointment of ten Senior Counsel, including Man, effective 2 May 2015. The Judiciary biography recorded that he was then 38, held a BA and a BCL from the University of Oxford, and practised mainly in civil law. On 22 September 2023 the Government announced that the Chief Executive had appointed him a member of the Electoral Affairs Commission for three years, from 22 September 2023 to 21 September 2026, with the appointment gazetted the same day. The spokesman described him as an experienced Senior Counsel in private practice whose practice centred on commercial litigation and civil law, and said his legal expertise and record of public service would help the Commission. Neither the Bar List nor the releases record experience beyond his education; the Bar List gives only chambers and the year of call, so that point is left blank rather than inferred.
