BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

A clearer
starting point.

Can I make an enquiry directly?

Yes. An initial enquiry can be made by email or WhatsApp. Sending an enquiry does not create a retainer or confirm representation.

How are Hong Kong court instructions accepted?

A court engagement can proceed only after practising arrangements, availability and any required instruction through a solicitor have been confirmed.

What if I have an urgent hearing or deadline?

State the deadline in your enquiry. Do not assume an enquiry will protect your position; obtain timely assistance from an available practising solicitor where urgent action is needed.
