SFKS hosted the International Lawyers Network (“ILN”) 2017 Asia Pacific Regional Conference at the Conrad Hotel Hong Kong, from 23rd to 25th February 2017.

All the 9 partners of the firm participated at different sessions to meet with participants from 13 jurisdictions (Australia, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, USA, Vietnam and Hong Kong).

A presentation on “One Belt On Road – Trade Opportunities in Hong Kong, China and Beyond” was made by Mr. Nicolas Kwan, Director of Research of Hong Kong Trade Development Council. A workshop followed immediately with participants actively engaging in discussions on the opportunities and challenges arising from legal and jurisdictional aspects due to the diversity of legal systems, languages and cultures in the OBOR countries.

The conference ended with a Gala Dinner as grand finale at the Hutong Restaurant on top of No. 1 Peking Road overlooking the fabulous Hong Kong Victoria Harbour.

SFKS thanks ILN Chairman, Peter L. Altieri, ILN Executive Director, Alan Griffiths and ILN Director of Global Relationship Management, Lindsay Griffiths for bringing the event to Hong Kong and all participants for attending.
