Hong Kong is a place where the world does business. With its dynamic role as Asia’s financial centre, investment gateway to China and as an international base for Chinese and local companies expanding overseas, Hong Kong is the vibrant base for an ever-growing array of internationally focused companies.
Our Hong Kong office has over 130 lawyers and continues to grow as Hong Kong remains Asia's leading financial services hub. We advise international businesses seeking to expand into Asia and assist Asian companies wanting to invest in the broader global market. Our lawyers in Hong Kong offer knowledge and understanding of the local laws and regulations of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the People's Republic of China (PRC).
We advise across a broad range of industry sectors and countries including automotive, banking and finance, energy and infrastructure, insurance, marine, PE/VC/Funds, pharmaceuticals, real estate, restructuring, retail and franchise, technology, media and communications, China, Indonesia, Korea and Vietnam. By structuring our business around sector-focused multidisciplinary teams, our lawyers better understand the business environments and markets in which our clients operate. This enhances the value we deliver to clients when providing technical legal advice.
Our technical legal services are delivered through seven global practices:
All lawyers in Hong Kong are fluent in English, with individuals speaking Putonghua (Mandarin) and a wide range of Chinese dialects including Cantonese and Shanghainese in addition to a number of other languages.
China practice
Our China practice is one of the largest in Asia with an integrated team of over 150 lawyers based in Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Lawyers in our China practice understand the regulatory and legislative systems of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), and advise local and international organisations on all aspects of conducting business in and out of China.
Around Asia
In Asia we also have Indonesian, Korean and Vietnamese practice groups. These groups have a geographic focus and comprise lawyers who can speak the local language, are familiar with local laws, and have established working relationships with local law firms. Lawyers in these practice groups offer considerable experience advising clients on structuring, documenting and implementing all types of cross-border and local transactions.
