The firm has been advising clients on the Hong Kong election law covering the Chief Executive election for 2012 which is ongoing and the District Board elections for 2011 where election Petitions are beginning to emerge. On the criminal side, the firm is assisting other clients to deal with police investigations in election irregularities. This is a new developing area of law which is both interesting and complicated owing to Hong Kong’s incoherent election law that is covered by several different ordinances. The team is headed by Peter Sit, assisted by the firm’s litigation partners, associates and trainee solicitors.
