Alan Wong LLP
About Alan Wong LLP
Alan Wong LLP advises founders, funds, companies and families across Hong Kong and beyond. We combine senior legal judgement, commercial perspective and a lean, modern way of working to deliver clear, rigorous and practical legal advice.
Our approach
We are structured to give clients direct access to senior lawyers, clear advice and transparent fees. Our lawyers bring experience from international law firms, a Big Four professional services network and venture-backed businesses, allowing us to approach each matter with both technical discipline and commercial perspective.
Modern businesses need legal advisers who are responsive, precise and commercially aware. As an independent boutique, we are built to provide senior-led advice without unnecessary layers, while maintaining the rigour, judgement and discretion expected in high-value legal work.

FAQs

We advise on corporate transactions and M&A, fund formation, private wealth and trusts, commercial contracts, digital assets and Web3, AI governance, employment and more. Please see our capabilities page for further details.

Yes. We regularly act for clients across Asia and internationally, and advise on cross-border matters involving Hong Kong, Mainland China and other jurisdictions. We work in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
