Family

Divorce, separation or any form of family breakdown is a stressful time. We pride ourselves on the ability to work with clients through emotional and financial upheavals and to minimise the adverse effect on the parties, the children and the assets. No matter how complicated the issues, we aim to help you resolve them as quickly and amicably as possible by finding common ground and practical solutions. Our seasoned and experienced advisors will act as your guide through a difficult time in your life.

Hong Kong matrimonial matters raise specific issues requiring a great deal of skill and resourcefulness as international elements frequently arise. Whether the husband or wife are of different nationalities or because joint property and assets are held outside of Hong Kong, this international component is now the norm. Therefore, it is critical for our clients to feel comfortable with their advisor and that the advisor is familiar with every aspect of their matrimonial situation. From experience, we know that each case is unique and requires a tailor-made solution, so our first priority is to listen to you and comprehend your situation.

No-one enters a relationship with a view to splitting up, but there has also been a growing trend of couples wishing to cater for the worst-case scenario should there be a break down in the relationship and we have been asked to advise on Prenuptial and Post-Nuptial agreements involving substantial assets and can advise on the choice of jurisdiction and the applicable law most appropriate to facilitate the enforceability of such agreements.

Whether your matter is contentious or non-contentious, our dedicated family solicitors are ready to assist. Key Contacts: S Y Pang; Candi Anna Chan
