Each section provides the details of firms and her contact person to whom the public would be directed to make their inquiries. A firm with more than one branch may have more than one listing.
3. An online version of the Directory is also available at the Society’s website at www.hklawsoc.org.hk and a mobile application of the Directory is available at App Store and Google Play Store.

A separate list of law firms who have volunteered to provide not exceeding 45 minutes initial free legal consultation to the public in one or more of the 24 areas of practice will be published on www.choosehklawyer.org and on the mobile application maintained by the Society.
