There is a very good reason why Haldanes has won the prestigious ALB Criminal Law Award, voted on by members of the legal profession, for the past 21 years.

It’s partly to do with the fact that our highly experienced team of lawyers have long been recognised as the go-to team in Hong Kong and elsewhere because of their decades of success and close ties with the legal and law enforcement community.

But it also reflects that we have the largest team of criminal defence lawyers in Hong Kong, including two solicitor advocates who can appear before the High Court.

Our multi-award-winning criminal defence lawyers specialise in white-collar crime and deal with criminal litigation from Magistrates Courts up to the Court of Final Appeal.

We have developed a regulatory practice where our lawyers deal with Securities and Futures Commission, Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Monetary Authority investigations.

We also provide advice on the National Security Law, including seminars on dawn raids, search warrants and production orders for the international media.

Haldanes is one of the leaders in Competition / Antitrust Law, representing multi-national corporations, US and Hong Kong listed companies and senior management in Competition Commission investigations.

Our law firm has wide experience advising global news and social media companies on investigations and dawn raids by the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), particularly in view of the PCPD’s extended criminal investigation powers and newly included doxxing offences.

Haldanes’ lawyers work with IT experts to devise compliance programs for corporate clients to navigate the regulatory framework under the Personal Data Privacy Ordinance.

Our criminal defence lawyers regularly appear as specialists in newspaper and television interviews about criminal law and are often invited to give seminars and talks to professional groups and student bodies.

Haldanes provide a 24-hour service to our clients with an emergency hotline, and our lawyers are always ready to offer expert legal advice on criminal litigation whenever our clients need it.
