Disclaimer

1. Our status

Lockhart & Yip advises on international and foreign law. We do not practise the law of Hong Kong; matters of Hong Kong law are handled together with locally licensed firms. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice.

In practice this means: we advise on international and foreign law — English-law contracts, offshore structures, arbitration, foreign tax positions and cross-border strategy. Where a matter requires Hong Kong court proceedings, Hong Kong licensing, registry filings or other steps reserved to Hong Kong practitioners, those steps are carried out by locally licensed firms with whom we work, openly and under our coordination.

2. No legal advice on this website

Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. Content is general information prepared at a point in time; the law changes and facts matter. Advice you can rely on requires an engagement, which begins with a written assessment of your specific situation.

3. No guarantee of outcome

We do not guarantee the outcome of any matter, and nothing on this site should be read as such a guarantee. Descriptions of representative matters are anonymised and do not predict future results.

4. Recognition

References to directories mean exactly this: partners recognised in chambers and legal 500. Recognition is at partner level; we claim no firm-level rankings.

5. Sanctions-related work

Our sanctions practice is a compliance practice. Hong Kong implements United Nations sanctions and does not implement unilateral US sanctions; we advise on what applies and what is permitted, and we document positions accordingly. We do not advise on evading any sanctions regime.
