In 1986, Jones Day established its Hong Kong Office to offer on-the-ground support in Asia for the Firm’s global client base.  Today, our team of more than 50 transactional and litigation lawyers offers one of the most comprehensive arrays of services among U.S. law firms in Hong Kong.  Our lawyers received their legal training in a variety of jurisdictions in addition to Hong Kong, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore and, in addition to English, collectively speak Mandarin and various local dialects such as Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Taiwanese, as well as French, German, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, and Kannada.

Working with the Firm’s five other Asian offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo, the Hong Kong Office provides a comprehensive range of legal services to serve the Firm’s international and local clients.  The office has extensive capabilities in mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, dispute resolution, intellectual property, real estate, and energy and routinely handles cross-border transactions involving Hong Kong, U.S., and English law.  Jones Day’s One Firm Worldwide approach affords our clients seamless access to the Firm’s substantial legal resources in our fully-integrated network of more than 2,500 lawyers in 32 offices worldwide.

The Hong Kong Office is committed to serving the local community.  For example, our lawyers provide employment law advice for the Hong Kong Student Aid Society, which offers foster care, residential facilities, and educational support to children and young people.  The office also makes charitable contributions to a diverse group of organizations through selected charitable foundations.  For instance, through the Hong Kong Space Technology Research Foundation, the office helped establish Hong Kong’s first Mars exploration team and assisted the team in registering a U.S. patent and obtaining financial support from the European Space Agency.
