    “I wish the Hong Kong Legal Walk the greatest of success. I would urge all law firms there to join in as ours do in London.

    We especially benefit from the support of the most senior judges and lawyers in London and I hope those in Hong Kong will emulate that. “

    “It gives me immense pleasure to support Hong Kong’s inaugural Legal Walk later in the year. 

    The entire world has suffered over the past two years and now more than ever, our support is needed for initiatives such as the Legal Walk to help raise funds for local charities so that they can continue their fantastic work in supporting the underprivileged and the youth of Hong Kong.
