Lawyers in Hong Kong 21.Stock, United Centre 95 Queensway, Admiralty Hongkong SAR, PR China Tel.: (+852) 2105-8788 Fax: (+852) 2865-2033 E-Mail: [email protected] Website: www.hongkong.diplo.de Gz: RK 521.01 HKG Stand: Mai 2021 RECHTSANWALTSLISTE I. Allgemeine Informationen Diese Angaben basieren auf Informationen, die dem Generalkonsulat zum Zeitpunkt der Abfassung vorlagen. Die Angaben und insbesondere die Benennung der Anwälte und sonstiger Rechtsbeistände sind unverbindlich und ohne Gewähr. Bei Mandatserteilung hat der Mandant für alle Kosten und Gebühren selbst aufzukommen. Das Hongkonger Rechtssystem stammt aus der britischen Kolonialzeit und beruht auf dem „Common Law“. Es unterscheidet sich dadurch grundlegend von dem Rechtssystem Festlandchinas. Vor den Gerichten her rscht kein Anwaltszwang, so dass mündige Personen selbst vor Gerichten auftreten können. Allerdings kann bei der Vorbereitung von bestimmten Dokumenten die Hinzuziehung eines Anwalts nötig sein. Vor dem Small Claims Court (Streitwert unter 50.000 HKD) ist die anwaltliche Vertretung sogar gesetzlich untersagt. Angeklagte in allen Strafsachen, die sich keinen Rechtsanwalt leisten können, können Prozesskostenhilfe beantragen. Auch in Zivilsachen können Kläger oder Beklagte bei unzureichenden finanziellen Eigenmitteln einen Antrag auf Prozesskostenhilfe stellen. Die Anwaltschaft unterhält eine Beratungsstelle ( www.hkba.org). Die Aufstellung der Rechtsanwälte erfolgt in alphabetischer Reihenfolge und ohne Gewähr und Haftung fü r das Generalkonsulat Hongkong oder das Auswärtige Amt. Seite 2 von 5 II.

    THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED 2 March 2016 THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED CELEBRATES ITS 150th ANNIVERSARY IN 2016 The Hong Kong-based parent company of The Peninsula Hotels, The Peak Tram, Peak Tower and Repulse Bay Complex, celebrates 150 years of tradition well served. HONG KONG 2 March, 2016: The distinguished heritage of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (HSH) reaches a new milestone today as HSH celebrates its 150th anniversary. Originally incorporated on 2 March 1866 as The Hongkong Hotel Company, Limited, HSH was one of the first companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is currently the oldest registered company on the Hong Kong Companies Registry. For a century and a half, the compelling story of HSH has been closely tied to its city of origin, Hong Kong. Whilst evolving to meet the changing times at home and abroad, HSH has never lost respect for its past and its heritage, and it continually strives to emulate the standards of service and style that earned it the accolade of “The Far East’s leading hotel company”. The concept of “Tradition well served” remains fundamental to HSH’s approach. “Tradition is taking account of a wonderful history, but remembering that everybody today looks to the future. It is important not to forget that the future is built on the past, and we have a great legacy,” said The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of HSH. “We believe that our rich history gives us a fuller understanding of our shared identity, culture and values, enabling us to manage change responsibly, to safeguard the best of the past and to keep innovating to meet the demands of the next generation.” Today, the HSH legacy encompasses a diverse portfolio of assets worth HK$44.2 billion1 including ten Peninsula Hotels around the world, The Peak Tram, The Peak Tower and The Repulse Bay Complex in Hong Kong.

Source: Stanley_Wong < http://www. flickr.com/photos/stanley-wong/4982125563/> 3 [PREFACE] When I started my Master of Urban & Regional Planning at Utrecht University in September 2011, I had no idea that I’d be finishing my thesis about harbour reclamation in Hong Kong exactly one year later. In fact, I was gearing up for a master thesis about a planning subject in The Netherlands, combined with an internship at a municipality or private company. But then, after just one week of lectures, something special came along; I was introduced to the RESPACE project 2011, taking place in Hong Kong. I had heard about this research project before. A small group of students would, together with project coordinator and Utrecht University teacher dr. Bart Wissink, visit an Asian city to research these changing urban environments. This year, the focus would be on urban conflicts in Hong Kong and 5 students would be able to enrol. Such a research project would fit perfectly with what I was and still am interested in; con- temporary issues in large urban areas, urban planning’s increasing difficulty to deal with a fast-changing civil society and the extremely fast growth of Asian cities.

  • Madelein Kleyn, President of LES
    The IP and licensing industry has been disrupted before and some experienced professionals have seen it happen. These experienced professionals can share their insight to younger professionals as to what lies ahead for the future of the IP/licensing and practice. Will the use of disrupting emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain disrupt the licensing practice? How are these new tools going to affect the everyday practice of IP/licensing professionals, from in-house counsel to tech-transfer office professionals and private practice attorneys? Will the value of professional services be calculated with other means than hourly rates, if everyone uses powerful tools? Will some tasks of the IP/licensing practice be completely automated in the future? The very diverse panel composed of young and experienced professionals, will discuss these challenging issues and will try to predict the licensing practice of the future, while learning from past disruptions! Moderator: Vincent Bergeron, Immediate Past-Chair of LESI YMC and Co-Chair of LESI’s Communications Committee, Partner and Leader of the Emerging Tech Group at ROBIC, Canada Panel: • Madelein Kleyn, President of LES South Africa, Director, Technology Transfer, Innovus and CEO, Mad K IP Consulting, South Africa; • Shayne Phillips, Managing Member, Six Points Consulting, USA • Olivier Huc, Sales Director, Anaqua, United Kingdom • David Swain, Incoming Chair of LESI YMC, Senior Associate, Deacons, Hong Kong Note from the President It has been an amazing year for LES SA.

  • Doing Business in China
    Doing Business in China Contents Introduction 2 Visas and Work Permits 2 Types of Business Entities 3 Business Environment 7 Foreign Investment Policy 9 Government Initiatives and Incentives 10 Taxation 16 Workplace Relations 20 Dispute Resolution 22 Deacons 24 The law is as stated at 1 January 2007. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this publication, it is for general guidance only and should not be treated as a substitute for specific advice. If you would like advice on any of the issues raised, please speak to one of the contacts named on page 24. Introduction Before 1978, China's economic policies were mainly aimed at self-reliance. As a result, the country was virtually shut off from world economic developments. In 1978, China opened its doors to foreign investment with the goal of modernising its economy and raising the living standard of its people. The country has since established the necessary legislative basis for foreign investment and has actively sought to acquire modern foreign management and technical skills. China adopted a Constitution in 1982 which has been amended various times since. The national legislative organ is the National People's Congress (NPC), which convenes annually for two weeks. When the NPC is not in session, its permanent organ, the Standing Committee, exercises most of its powers. The primary executive organs of state power are the President, who is the head of state, and the State Council being the government. The Chinese Communist Party remains the main political force in China and controls all appointments to key state organs.
