Recent legislative developments in Hong Kong concerning the practices of Solicitors and Barristers, continuing integration with Mainland China, and economic forces are all affecting the practice of law in Hong Kong. Our panel will discuss the impacts of these changes or forces on the practice of law in Hong Kong, which should be of interest to both the consumers of legal services as well as law firms and chambers.
Mr. Russell Coleman is currently Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar and also former President of the Hong Kong Institute of Arbitrators. After first practicing in London, Mr. Coleman moved to Hong Kong in 1990 and took Silk in 2006. As well as acting as Counsel, Mr. Coleman often sits as an Arbitrator, in both domestic and international arbitrations.

The author of numerous articles for a wide variety of publications, he has consulted and provided training for dozens of professional service firms across Asia and Europe. He is also the author of ‘Marketing Professional Services in Asia’, published by Lexis Nexis in 2009.
