On 10 November 2016, our Partners Ms. Catherine Por, Ms. Wendy Lam, Ms. Janice Chin, Ms. Sherlynn Chan and our Associate Mr. Calvin Lo attended the Hong Kong Family Law Association (the “HKFLA”) 30th Anniversary Cocktail held at the Helena May. The guest of honour was the current Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court The Right Hon. the Baroness Hale of Richmond. Following the Cocktail, Ms. Catherine Por attended the HKFLA Anniversary Dinner held on 11 November 2016 at the Hong Kong Club, where Lady Hale gave a speech. Family lawyers, judges including the Chief Justice of Hong Kong, guests from various organizations, government departments, and other practitioners who contribute to the development of family law in Hong Kong all participated in the events.
The HKFLA was founded in 1986 on the initiative of the then Attorney General, Michael Thomas, to establish a consultative group on family law matters where practitioners could discuss current issues and where proposals for law reform could be formulated. The HKFLA has grown to a membership of more than 300 and for many years, our Ms. Wendy Lam was the Hon. Secretary of this prestigious organization.
Please contact Ms. Catherine Por for any enquiries or further information about this event.
