The General Office of the State Council yesterday (22nd) issued the “Measures for the Pilot Program for Hong Kong Legal Practitioners and Macau Practicing Lawyers to Obtain Mainland Practicing Qualifications and Engage in Lawyers in the Nine Cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.”

The Department of Justice said today (23) that it has been actively reflecting the opinions and expectations of the industry with relevant Mainland authorities. The Secretary for Justice, Ruohua Cheng, encourages practicing lawyers and barristers in Hong Kong to "seize the opportunity" and considers it an arrangement to promote mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong. .

The Department of Justice stated that since the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress passed the above-mentioned relevant decision on August 11, it has maintained close communication with relevant mainland authorities and actively reflected the opinions and expectations of the Department of Justice and the Hong Kong legal profession, including examination qualifications, training methods and Business scope, etc.

At present, lawyers and barristers with five years of practicing experience are allowed to register for the examination. Zheng Ruohua said, "Thanks to the Ministry of Justice for organizing relevant legal knowledge training, so that legal practitioners in Hong Kong can prepare for the examination."

Zheng Ruohua believes that after Hong Kong lawyers and barristers obtain Mainland practice qualifications, they can handle some civil and commercial legal affairs that are applicable to Mainland law in the Greater Bay Area, including litigation and non-litigation services. They "enjoy the same rights" as Mainland lawyers. "Fulfilling the same obligations" is the central government's arrangement to promote mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

She encouraged the industry to "seize the opportunity" and actively participate in the construction of the Greater Bay Area to further develop Hong Kong's legal services.

Zheng Ruohua pointed out, "The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a major national development strategy. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must seize the precious opportunities brought by the Greater Bay Area, give full play to its advantages, and deepen business cooperation between the three places in order to improve the cross-border cooperation mechanism in the field of rule of law. , To improve the goals of international legal services and dispute resolution mechanisms."

Nine cities in the Greater Bay Area, including: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province.
