JC Legal

We are business people with a legal way of thinking.

Corporate structures and relationships are simply tools, and applying them effectively takes skill. Venturing into new markets requires additional local insight and cultural nuance. To excel in a highly competitive business environment, mastering the game rules of navigating and overcoming complex regulatory landscapes is key.

With decades of experience in Hong Kong, PRC and ASEAN, we are well-versed in all kinds of business vehicles and know how to create and manage them to achieve your goals. Whether you are a sole business owner or leader of a multinational conglomerate, we help you develop robust legal frameworks to ease your work and minimise risks.

We are strategic litigators who think practically for you and help you achieve the best outcome.

Let’s admit it: going to court is costly, lengthy and not always best solution to a fallout. But in many cases, litigation provides a viable recourse to otherwise helpless and insoluble situations, like recovering lost money to cyber fraud.

Our dispute resolution team evaluates with you the practical courses of action that respect your circumstances and achieve your desired outcomes. Well versed with the judicial process, we devise effective strategies to represent your interests. We work closely with legal professionals in foreign jurisdictions to carry out cross-border dispute resolution.

We value your intellectual property and protect your innovation.

A distinctive brand identity or technology characterises your business. Inspirations flow without borders as our world becomes more interconnected, but we trust that every creation is unique, and deserves to be treated as such.

We have solid knowledge in trademarks in Hong Kong, PRC and ASEAN. We can defend the distinctiveness of your brand by registering your mark or removing obstacles for protection. We help you scale fast by licensing the intellectual property of your products to collaborative partners.

The secret to prosperous, purposeful business is team success.

People is the greatest asset of any business. Finding the right talents and coaching them to become their best selves will go a long way to deliver long-term impact. It starts with setting down fundamental protocols and giving autonomy to areas your staff perform best. A good practice will build a harmonious organisational culture and constructive connections that may outlast tenures.

Our employment lawyers are constantly on the pulse for the latest legislation and requirements for employers and employees, so we can prepare you or your staff for the future of work.

Our family lawyers are guardians of lasting, healthy relationships.

We understand how important families, whether by birth or by choice, are to you, as well as the wish that your love and care for them be preserved and conveyed truthfully. While expectations and boundaries may often be implicit, legal counsel helps you understand your situation and options with a clear mind.

Our family lawyers possess deep experience in dealing with family relationships, mediating conflicts and arranging for family wealth and legacies. Proficient in matrimonial law from both civil law and common law perspectives, we have represented multicultural couples and families in complex proceedings and give forward-thinking, practical advice to smooth out the process. We adopt a holistic approach and work collaboratively with civil celebrants, financial advisors, life coaches and other professionals.

With in-house lawyers in Kuala Lumpur, partnering law firm in PRC, and global network, we set your business foothold in ASEAN and PRC.
