今年7月，首批获得广东省司法厅颁发粤港澳大湾区律师执业证书的港澳律师诞生。根据有关机构要求，大湾区律师除需通过粤港澳大湾区律师执业考试外，还需要接洽能够聘用自己的内地律师事务所，以获得大湾区律师执业资格证。

今年下半年来，内地律所，尤其华南律所持续发布聘用大湾区律师的消息，这些新成员的加盟也助益内地律所持续深化大湾区市场融合、扩大自身业务能力。

据ALB 统计，目前，共有近五十位港澳律师成功加盟华南律所，为开启大湾区执业做好准备。其中，华商律师事务所与广信君达律师事务所并列第一，分别吸纳了12位港澳律师加入；广悦律师事务所则以4位律师的加盟排名第二；广和律师事务所及金桥司徒邝（南沙）联营律师事务所则以吸纳3位大湾区律师的成绩紧随其后；此外，君合香港办公室及通力香港办公室分别有3位及2位律师获得了粤港澳大湾区律师执业资格。

近日，世辉律师事务所迎来了麦振兴律师以合伙人身份加盟其深圳办公室，成为最新一位被内地律所聘用的港澳律师。
