Hong Kong’s only association of in-house counsel run for in-house counsel by in-house counsel

The HKCCA provides an efficient and effective range of benefits and services for its members' professional development, including continuing legal education, a platform for networking and the exchange of ideas, information and experiences that are unique to the in-house role. It is Hong Kong's only association of in-house counsel run for in-house counsel by in-house counsel.

Eversheds Guide to Legal Drafting
The Eversheds guide is not a dictionary, grammar book or academic tome. Neither is it a comprehensive look at aspects of English in a legal context. Instead, it is a pioneering attempt to provide some practical assistance to busy lawyers around the world whose native language is not English but who need to read, write, negotiate and converse in “legal English”.

HKCCA Lunchtime Seminars

Cantor Fitzgerald – over-ruling of decision in HSBC v Wallace (20 June 2012)

Cantor Fitzgerald Europe v Boyer is an important ruling, which effectively over-rules HSBC v Wallace (2007). This aspect of the decision is relevant to all Hong Kong based businesses who host international secondees employed under non-Hong Kong law contracts. The decision also deals with team moves.

In this seminar, we will dissect the court’s reasoning and put it into the context of recent team move cases in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions. We will consider whether this case may present greater comfort to an aggressive player seeking to poach experienced teams from a competitor.
