MdME Lawyers has made history as the first Macau law firm established in Hong Kong following approval from Hong Kong’s Law Society to register as a foreign firm and practice Macau law in Hong Kong. 

MdME, which made the announcement on the same day the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge was opened to the public, bills itself as bridging the gap between the two legal markets by focusing on opportunities that span both markets. 

Founded in 2006, with over 25 fee-earners, the full-service firm has represented large corporations operating in Macau across sectors such as finance, gaming, real estate, energy, construction, infrastructure, pharma and telecom.

Gonçalo Mendes da Maia, founding and Managing Partner of MdME said the new Hong Kong office would help the firm achieve its goal to become “a truly regional firm in the Greater Bay Area”.

The firm is currently waiting for approval to establish a physical office in Hengqin Island, Zhuhai.
