Hong Kong Lawyers Gain Route to Practice in 9 Guangdong Cities Under New Law The passage of amendments to China's Lawyers Law by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has created new opportunities for Hong Kong lawyers to practice in nine cities across Guangdong province.
Starting September 1, lawyers from Hong Kong and Macau will be able to provide specified civil and commercial legal services in cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai after passing a Greater Bay Area examination and obtaining the necessary mainland credentials.
This development is significant not just for Hong Kong's lawyers but also for the region's economic prospects.
