W&H latest PRC firm to launch Hong Kong office

The PRC’s W&H Law Firm has opened a new office in Hong Kong, becoming the latest mainland Chinese legal practice to establish a presence in the Asian financial hub.

The Hong Kong branch becomes the firm's 50th office globally. While the vast majority of W&H's locations are spread across mainland China, the Hong Kong office joins the firm's sole international outpost in Tokyo.

The past few years have seen a steady stream of Chinese law firms opening offices in Hong Kong, with the most recent entrant being the Guangzhou-based Wang Jing & GH. There are now 32 PRC law firms operating as foreign law firms in the city. 

W&H’s new Hong Kong office will be led by partner Ying Feibiao. The firm announced that its Hong Kong branch will evolve into a hub for W&H's international legal services, serving as an information, operations, and settlement center. This development aims to provide clients with more streamlined, efficient, and expert legal assistance.

W&H considers the establishment of its Hong Kong office a significant achievement, marking a major step in the expansion of its global legal services network. The firm sees this move as a concrete advancement in its journey towards becoming a truly international organization.
