Transparent answers to the questions clients usually ask after the first meeting — but before they're ready to commit.
How much does setting up a Hong Kong company cost? ⌄
Government fees run HK$1,720. Legal fees for a straightforward incorporation are typically fixed. More complex structures cost more.
HK$3,500 – 8,000 all-in
What does fund formation cost? ⌄
Depends on structure (LPF, OFC, unit trust) and whether you need SFC licensing. A standalone LPF without licensing is far less than a fully licensed fund.
HK$35,000 – 120,000+
How much is a monthly retainer? ⌄
Our Fractional In-House service is billed monthly at a fixed rate. You get a dedicated senior lawyer for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
From HK$8,000 / month
What does a shareholders' agreement cost? ⌄
A standard SHA for a two-to-four party company can be done at a fixed fee. More complex agreements with bespoke provisions vary.
HK$12,000 – 28,000
How do you bill — fixed fee or hourly? ⌄
We prefer fixed fees for defined-scope work. Hourly billing is reserved for open-ended advisory or litigation where scope cannot be predicted upfront.
Do you offer a free first consultation? ⌄
Yes. A 30-minute exploratory call is free. We use it to understand your situation and tell you honestly whether you need a lawyer at all — and if so, what it would cost.
