Legal Jobs in Hong Kong
If this is the ‘Asian Century’, where better to build your legal career than Hong Kong? A world-class financial centre that provides the natural junction between China and the global economy. This is one of the great ex-pat legal markets and every major international firm is represented here. The quality of work will be first-rate and your exposure to clients strong. Experience gained in this market will be valuable anywhere. Career moves don’t come much better.
In your spare time, you will have one of the world’s great metropolises on your doorstep. Hong Kong is a 24/7 city which runs at a pace and boasts a legendary nightlife. You won’t lack places to see or things to do. There are plenty of ways to pass a relaxed Sunday afternoon too, whether it is in the mountains overlooking the city or at one of the bays that fringe the island. If you need to get away from it all, its location puts most of Asia within short-break range.
The demand for lawyers in Hong Kong is dominated by corporate, funds, finance and dispute resolution, although in a mature market like this, jobs come up in all practice areas. There is a strong leaning in onshore law firms towards people with Mandarin language skills; less of a requirement for most offshore firms which makes this an increasingly popular move for English speaking lawyers.
There is a lot to consider in any international career move and many lawyers find that it pays to have the experts on your side. The international team at Origin Legal has been working in the Hong Kong market for many years and can advise you on every step of the process.

Testimonials
Candidate
"Jason is by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with and his key strength is that he is genuinely open and honest with candidates. I've worked with recruiters before who I felt were willing to push me into roles that weren't suited to me and Jason stood out because I trusted his advice completely. Thanks to Jason I was able to secure a great position in the Cayman Islands and I haven't looked back since!"

Candidate
"I couldn't recommend Jason highly enough. He has his finger on the pulse of the offshore legal world and is very professional to work with. He is also very responsive and knowledgeable on the practicalities of moving offshore, especially from London. Great to work with."
