The Law Society of Hong Kong is a professional association for solicitors in Hong Kong vested with statutory powers to regulate the professional conduct of solicitors, trainee solicitors and foreign lawyers. It was incorporated in 1907 as a company limited by guarantee.
The Law Society speaks for the solicitors’ profession in Hong Kong and ensures our voice are accurately and purposefully communicated to relevant parties
The Law Society is dedicated to providing relevant and effective support to our members including professional training and legal practice updates.
The Law Society is committed to facilitating the attainment and maintenance of the highest professional standards by our members in the interest of the community
The Law Society reaches out and maintains a wide local and global network for knowledge exchange, experience sharing and collaboration between our members and different sectors of both the local and international communities.
The Law Society strives to raise general public legal awareness, facilitate public access to legal services and promote a culture of giving back to the community among our members.
Since the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, the Law Society has been playing an active role in promoting the Hong Kong legal system and legal profession along the Belt and Road. To explore opportunities for members arising from the Initiative and foster in-depth collaboration with lawyers’ associations and legal practitioners in the region, a Belt and Road Committee was convened in December 2015.
One of the Law Society’s pivotal contributions to facilitate connectivity among the Belt and Road jurisdictions is our hosting of an international Belt and Road Conference in Hong Kong since 2017, providing an excellent platform to explore opportunities and discuss solutions for challenges under the Belt and Road Initiative for the legal profession.
