In late July, our China Practice Group headed by Senior Partner Mr. Peter Sit (GBA Lawyer), Partner Mr. Roy Leung (GBA Lawyer) and Partner Ms. Jenny Wong (GBA Lawyer), along with Senior Associate Ms. Wai Yin Chung and Associate Ms. Carrie Li welcomed a delegation of 22 mainland lawyers from 19 law firms across 6 cities in the Greater Bay Area (“GBA”) to visit our firm with huge enthusiasm.

During the visit, our partners provided a comprehensive overview of the firm’s history of development and our practice areas, highlighting civil and commercial legal issues in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, cross-border legal services, legal support for clients venturing abroad, litigation and arbitration, as well as advancements in intellectual property law. We introduced the new opportunities for the Hong Kong legal profession arising from the GBA initiatives. Our GBA lawyers are committed to fostering interflow and collaboration with our peer professionals in the Mainland China for providing legal expertise to clients in both places.

The delegates also shared experience and insights about the professional practice in Mainland China. The visit led to a lively and extensive discussion about further strengthening exchanges between the two jurisdictions. It’s well recognised by all participants that the discussion not only enhanced mutual understandings but also established a solid foundation for solid collaboration in the future.
