Direct Professional Access

With the legal and dispute resolution landscape keeps evolving in and outside Hong Kong, professionals may need access to legal advice and other legal services from barristers, particularly in performing dispute resolution, business management and contractual administration related roles and functions. Direct professional access to barristers for legal advice and support is made more straightforward.

Designated arrangements for such direct professional access to barristers are provided for under the Code of Conduct of the Hong Kong Bar Association. For the Code of Conduct, please click here.
