About

Provided by Hugill & Ip Solicitors

Labour and employment law in Hong Kong and China is rapidly increasing and becoming more complex.

Our Employment practice is constantly developing to keep pace with the law and has gained a respected position with employers, employees and among our peers as being at the forefront of providing practical and straightforward advice in a complex and developing area of law.

Whether we are advising individuals or companies, we provide advice that is results driven. With extensive knowledge and experience of employment law in Hong Kong, we are able to advise on all options but also come off-the-fence and offer advice that achieved a practical solution.

A key function of our Immigration practice is to ensure that all business immigration processes are completed as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
