He has two sisters, a businesswoman in the fashion industry and a homemaker.[1] His grandfather is Law Ting Pong, the founder of Bossini.

Following the success of their venture, Bossini, the family sent Law to Uppingham School, wanting him to receive a better education there. At Uppingham, Law tried his hand at cooking as well as a handful of sports. After graduating from the institution in 2003, Law was requested by his father to assist in the overseas expansion of the family's hotel business, Park Hotel Group.

Later on, Law returned to the United Kingdom to further his education.
