Hui Zhong Takes a Bold Step in International Expansion

Beijing's Hui Zhong Law Firm is set to conquer new territories! The ambitious law firm has launched its foreign expansion by joining forces with Hong Kong's boutique firm, GH Legal, and officially opening a brand-new branch in Singapore.

A Fresh Start After Challenges From the Pandemic

After facing significant challenges during the pandemic, which stalled its growth in Hong Kong post-launch in 2020, Hui Zhong is revitalizing its strategy with this exciting alliance formed in February 2025.

Goals of Growth and Excellence

Ma Xiaohu, the managing partner of Hui Zhong’s Hong Kong office, expressed the firm’s aspirations: We aim to develop steadily from our current foundation, focusing on taking on more cases and elevating the quality of our services.

Expertise in International Disputes

The Hong Kong office is now fully equipped to advise on bilateral treaty disputes, providing representation for Chinese companies involved in arbitration cases in both Hong Kong and Singapore. Ma emphasized, International disputes demand more resources and collaboration compared to domestic cases. Our strong partnership allows clients to gain better insights into our work and cost structure, ultimately enhancing the legal services we offer while optimizing expenses.

A Dynamic Team Emerges

The recent merger has fortified Hui Zhong's Hong Kong branch with a robust team of six foreign-registered lawyers, including Ma and GH Legal's principal, George Hui. This potent combination aims to enhance the client experience through a unified approach.

Singapore Office: A New Era of Legal Services

Just a month after the alliance, Hui Zhong celebrated the inauguration of its inaugural overseas office in Singapore. Headed by Hazel Tang, the Singapore branch focuses on international commercial arbitration, cross-border investment and financing, as well as maritime and admiralty law.

Bridging Chinese Enterprises with Global Markets

Tang highlighted that the Singapore office is committed to delivering efficient and precise risk management along with dispute resolution solutions tailored for Chinese companies expanding internationally, as well as for global clients looking to invest in China. The Singapore team will closely collaborate with lawyers from Hui Zhong's Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong offices to ensure comprehensive legal support.
