On 6-8 November 2019, our firm’s partner Mr. Franky Fung, associate Mr. Andy Tse, trainee solicitors Mr. Jacky Li and Ms. Ava Zhu attended the 32nd LawAsia Conference 2019 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong. It is jointly organized by LawAsia and the Law Society of Hong Kong, and attracted over 600 legal practitioners, including judges, solicitors, barristers, in-house lawyers, scholars from 30 jurisdictions to facilitate the discussion of regional developments in law.
With this year’s theme of ‘Harmonization through Synergy’, this Conference covered various topics of common interest in two consecutive days, including alternative dispute resolution, Belt and Road Initiative, cross-border issues and investment, technology and data protection, intellectual property, human rights and young lawyers.
Besides the rewarding Conference sessions, we also had an opportunity to communicate with judges and lawyers from different jurisdictions, including Japan, South Korea and Singapore etc. As a result, we have gained a deeper understanding of the characteristics of their legal system, and look forward to future cooperation in legal business with each other.
