We know that litigation in Hong Kong can be complex and challenging. That’s why our dedicated team of litigators brings decades of experience to help clients resolve even the most difficult disputes.

Over the years, we have represented clients at all levels of the Hong Kong courts—from district courts to the Court of Final Appeal. Our track record includes landmark cases, such as one of the first cryptocurrency disputes in Hong Kong, as well as one of the last appeals to the Privy Council in 1997.

Beyond litigation, we also help clients find efficient and cost-effective alternatives. Hong Kong is a leading international arbitration hub, and our lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Our focus is always on protecting your interests, reducing risks, and finding the most effective path to resolve your dispute.

We help you protect the ideas, brands, and creations that make your business unique. Our team regularly handles trademark applications in Hong Kong and supports clients in safeguarding their intellectual property through civil actions when needed.

We also have strong experience in protecting trademarks that include Chinese characters, both in Hong Kong and Mainland China. With our guidance, you can secure your brand, prevent misuse, and take quick action if your rights are infringed.

Our goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your intellectual property is well-protected, so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.
