Connecting Businesses to China

Hong Kong is a key investment and logistics portal, and a pivotal gateway to Mainland China. Many multinational corporations already have regional head offices in Hong Kong to utilize the city’s competitive advantages and as a base for entering into the China market. Weir & Associates has served many of these corporations in establishing their presence in Hong Kong and developing a nexus into Mainland China.

In 2006, Weir & Associates became a registered foreign law firm in mainland China and opened an office in Shanghai marking our commitment to expanding our scope of services so clients can more easily implement their business plans in Mainland China.

We have lawyers qualified to practice in various jurisdictions including Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Singapore and Sri Lanka. Our support staff is fluent in languages including Cantonese, Mandarin, Hakka (and other Chinese dialects), English, Singhalese, Nepalese, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali and Tagalog.

Weir & Associates has working associations with foreign law firms in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. Within Mainland China, we have associations with law firms nation-wide including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Xiamen.

We are also appointed the sole representative law firm in Hong Kong and Mainland China for various global associations of law firms, including Legal Counsel International, Mackrell International, Legus – International Network of Law Firms, World Jurist Association and World Link for Law.
