Our Partner Sidney Ho represented the Bridge team of the Law Society of Hong Kong to victory at the Inter-professional International Match Points (IMP) Pair Championship 2024.

The Championship, held on 20 October 2024, featured 18 pairs from various professional organizations, including the Hong Kong Medical Association and the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Sidney and his bridge partner secured the championship title with a remarkable performance.

Both fields demand a deep understanding of probabilities and the ability to navigate complex scenarios, highlighting the intellectual rigor shared by the game of bridge and the practice of law. Bridge, like legal work, especially in litigation, requires strategic thinking, risk assessment, and effective teamwork. Just as lawyers must make optimal decisions based on the various details of a case and relevant legal provisions, bridge players assess available information and game dynamics to formulate the best strategies. This approach not only aids in achieving success in the game but also provides crucial support in the practice of law, highlighting the intellectual rigor shared by both fields.
