Tsui & Co.

INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE

Insurance is a special type of business. Lawyers need to familiarise with insurance operations and fully understand the markets before they are able to deliver top quality services.

We work closely with the participants in the insurance markets. We advise insurance and re-insurance companies, brokers, adjusters, surveyors and insurance authorities on all regulatory and corporate issues.

We handle life, marine and general insurance policy disputes. We represent insurers and re-insurers to handle subrogated claims, liability and professional indemnity claims.

PERSONAL INJURIES AND EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION

There is an increasing number of claims for employees’ compensation and personal injuries in Hong Kong.

Some of these claims are grossly exaggerated. We share the view that such a phenomenon is not good for both plaintiffs and defendants nor the society as a whole.

Like other top quality law firms, we adopt a pragmatic approach and effective tactics in handling this kind of disputes.

ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION

The firm has extensive experience in handling arbitration proceedings. We have acted for clients in arbitration proceedings for both institutional arbitrations under different arbitral rules and ad hoc arbitrations.

We represent clients in different jurisdictions in enforcement of arbitration awards in Hong Kong, including obtaining court orders necessary to protect the interest of our clients.

Mediation is an alternative method to resolve disputes to litigation. In mediation, a neutral mediator will be engaged by the parties to facilitate an amicable settlement that satisfy the needs of all parties involved.

We can represent clients in mediation sessions and help them achieve the most favorable outcome in mediation.

CORPORATE AND COMMERCIAL

We recognize that successful management of business ventures is an important key to success.

We are able to advise you on establishment and acquisition of companies and/or offshore companies and businesses, matters of takeovers and mergers, restructuring, joint ventures, employment issues and general corporate secretarial advice.

We also handle commercial, contractual and shareholder disputes, matters concerning agency law, immigration law, insolvency and restructuring, defamation and employment disputes through litigation or arbitration.

We not only adopt a pragmatic approach in handling litigation or arbitration, cost effectiveness is also our priority concern.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We handle both contentious and non-contentious matters related to intellectual property rights, such as trade marks, copyright, designs and passing-off.

Our services include trade mark registration and prosecution, initiating and defending civil claims relating to intellectual property rights, conducting and defending Anton Piller and Mareva Injunction actions, licensing and assignments of intellectual property rights, drafting license and assignments and other related agreements of intellectual property rights.

FAMILY LAW , WILLS & PROBATE

A divorce can be extremely stressful and painful. We provide prompt and professional services covering petition, negotiation, conduct custody and/or maintenance litigation, obtain various Court orders and handle enforcement procedures.

Probate law is another area where our expertise lies. We specialize in will drafting, estate planning as well as contentious and non-contentious probate matters. We have experience in dealing with banks, Inland Revenue and Probate Court which would efficiently assist in our handling.
